Kill or Be Killed #7

Sean Phillips's cover for issue #7 puts a steely blue-haired woman front and center — leather jacket, shotgun in hand, expression set somewhere between resolve and menace — framed against a cool blue urban backdrop that feels both familiar and foreboding. Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, and Elizabeth Breitweiser continue their collaboration here, and the tension radiating off this cover makes it clear the series hasn't eased up one bit. If gritty, atmospheric crime storytelling is your thing, this one belongs in your pull list.
