Newburn #16

Chip Zdarsky and Jacob Phillips' noir crime series delivers another atmospheric entry with issue #16, and the cover says it all: a woman's intensely watchful face looms large over a darkened city brownstone, where a solitary silhouetted figure is framed in a glowing red doorway while two NYPD squad cars idle out front. Phillips' moody, near-monochromatic artwork — punctuated by that ominous splash of crimson — captures the quiet dread that makes Newburn one of Image Comics' most compelling crime titles of 2024.
