Painkiller Jane #2

Painkiller Jane strides across a sun-baked beach in the second chapter of "Everything Explodes! Part Two," and Amanda Conner's cover delivers exactly what that title promises — a massive fireball mushrooming into the sky behind a cool, gun-toting Jane in a blue swimsuit, while a second armed woman lies wounded in the foreground, pistol still in hand. It's a striking composition that captures the series' blend of toughness and raw action energy. With Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada writing alongside the art team of Lee Moder and Chris Garcia, this 2007 Dynamite series — also airing as a Sci-Fi Channel original — was bringing Jane to a whole new audience.
