Outlaw Nation #17

Vertigo's Outlaw Nation #17 brings Jamie Delano's gritty, mature-readers series to its penultimate chapter with a cover by Glenn Fabry that commands immediate attention. A massive, shades-wearing man — arms crossed, towel reading "HIS" slung low — stands at the center, flanked by a pale punk woman with spiked white hair on his left and a wide-eyed blonde woman clinging to his right. The trio's body language crackles with tension, perfectly capturing the off-kilter, dangerous world that Delano and artists Goran Parlov and Goran Sudžuka have been building throughout this run.
