Killing Girl #5

The final issue of this 2007 Image miniseries closes out with a cover that says everything about its title character: a red-haired woman in a yellow-green tactical suit stands amid a carpet of spent shell casings, bristling with an arsenal of automatic weapons and cool, unflinching composure. Toby Cypress's linework gives her a stylish, angular energy that perfectly captures the series' hard-edged tone. If you've been following Glen Brunswick and Cypress's story of lethality and attitude, this is the satisfying sendoff you've been waiting for.
