Lady Killer 2 #2

Dark Horse's Lady Killer 2 #2 delivers the series' razor-sharp blend of domestic charm and cold-blooded menace right on its cover: a blood-spattered woman in a pink dress and heels sits coolly beneath a kitchen sink surrounded by stacked colorful mixing bowls, a dismembered hand reaching up behind the counter the only hint of what's transpired. Joëlle Jones's linework captures that unsettling 1960s housewife aesthetic with genuine wit — cheerful Comet cleanser and rubber gloves resting nearby as if tidying up were simply the next item on the to-do list. Colorist Michelle Madsen bathes the whole scene in warm, retro tones that make the carnage feel almost cozy, which is exactly the point.
