Outlaw Nation #15

Jamie Delano and Goran Parlov's Vertigo series reaches its fifteenth installment with a cover by Glenn Fabry that's hard to look away from — a young woman with fierce, frightened eyes cradles an unconscious white-haired man in her arms, the two of them framed within a sniper's crosshairs against the wreckage of a damaged vehicle. The composition is unnervingly intimate, that rifle sight turning an act of desperate protectiveness into a target. "Every Picture …" promises the kind of raw, street-level tension that has defined Outlaw Nation throughout its 2002 run.
