Negative Burn #8

Negative Burn #8 brings another packed anthology of short-form storytelling from Image/Desperado, featuring work by an impressive roster including James Chambers, Mike Ploog, Shannon Eric Denton, and many more. Karl Waller's cover art sets a striking tone — a tattooed, knife-wielding woman seen from behind, armed with a retro sci-fi ray gun and crouching atop a defeated, winged robotic figure, all set against a backdrop of looming mechanical faces. With contributors like Hyeondo Park, Doug Wagner, and C. Willow Winslow among the lineup, this 2007 issue makes a strong case for Negative Burn as one of the more adventurous anthology titles on the stands.
