Marksmen #5

Four armed fighters surge forward against a blazing orange backdrop on this penultimate issue of Image's six-part Marksmen series — a sniper steadies a scoped rifle in the foreground, flanked by a teal-haired warrior draped in ammunition, a red-masked figure raising a sword, and a fourth operative ready for action. The tagline "Blowin' S#!T Up!!" and the hashtag "#OccupyNewSanDiego" set a propulsive, politically charged tone that carries the miniseries right to its finale. Released during Image's 20th anniversary, this issue from the creative team of David Baxter, Javier Aranda, Garry Leach, and Jessica Kholinne delivers the kind of high-energy action the series has been building toward.
