Newburn #13

The stark red-on-black cover of Newburn #13 from Image Comics sets a genuinely tense mood — two figures each raising a gun toward the other, rendered in a dramatic low-angle composition that practically crackles with standoff energy. Chip Zdarsky and Jacob Phillips have built one of crime comics' most gripping series, and this 2023 installment looks to push that hard-boiled tension to a new pitch.
