Kin #3

Issue three of Top Cow's Kin arrives with a cover that crackles with urgency — Gary Frank's pencils and inks (with Jason Gorder) depict two figures sprinting across a snow-covered landscape, a determined young woman in a green jacket hauling a muscular man in a dark bodysuit along as a military helicopter bears down on them from a darkening sky, with more aircraft visible in the distance. The pursuit-in-the-snow setup, paired with the story title "The Ties That Bind," suggests the stakes between these two characters are anything but simple. A tense, visually dynamic entry in this 2000 Image series that fans of Gary Frank's kinetic, detail-rich artwork will want in their collection.
