On the Stump #3

The third issue of Image's On the Stump frames its cast of warriors and political figures around a table set against a ghostly backdrop of a U.S. Congressional resolution — a striking visual that speaks to the series' blend of brutal combat and political intrigue. Prenzy's cover assembles a diverse group including an elder with a staff, a masked hooded figure, a powerfully built man, and several others, all gathered as if negotiating something weighty and dangerous. Chuck Brown's 2020 series continues to look like one of the more boldly imagined political-action books on shelves.
