Liar's Kiss #[nn]

The stark, high-contrast cover of Liar's Kiss sets a brooding noir tone immediately — a silhouetted figure in a fedora casts a long shadow across what appears to be a body on a bed, rendered in striking hot pink against deep black. Jhomar Soriano's cover art feels like a fever dream pulled straight from classic crime fiction, all sharp angles and uneasy atmosphere. Eric Skillman and Soriano's 2011 Top Shelf graphic novel announces itself as exactly the kind of stylish, shadowy thriller that reminds you why noir endures.
