Lovesick #5

Luana Vecchio's Lovesick continues to push boundaries with this striking fifth issue from Image Comics. The cover presents the series' dark-haired, pink-streaked protagonist seated on a blood-splattered floor, collar around her neck, a gun loosely in hand, her expression haunted and defiant all at once — it's a mood that perfectly captures the series' unsettling blend of vulnerability and violence. If you've been following this visceral, stylishly rendered series, issue #5 makes clear there's no gentler path ahead.
