Newburn #2

Jacob Phillips's cover for Newburn #2 pairs two figures in a striking, mostly monochromatic wash — a sharp-eyed older man in a dark suit and tie looming behind a younger woman with braided hair and a wary expression, both set against an unsettling bloom of red. The tension between them practically radiates off the page, perfectly suited to a crime series from Image Comics built on shifting allegiances and hard truths. With the chapter titled "Everything I Told You Was True," this 2021 series is already staking out compelling noir territory.
