Loose Ends #3

The penultimate chapter of this four-issue southern crime romance from Image arrives with a cover that practically radiates heat — a confident woman in a white swimsuit, cigarette in hand and white-framed sunglasses on, posed against a moody backdrop of deep purples, crimson skies, and bold diagonal stripes. Chris Brunner's painterly cover work has a lush, sun-soaked noir atmosphere that perfectly fits the series' blend of Southern grit and smoky glamour. If you've been following Loose Ends, issue three promises to keep the tension simmering right up to the finale.
