Red Before Black #1

Two very different women — a cigarette-smoking blonde in a leather jacket dangling handcuffs and a lit lighter, and a dark-haired woman gripping a pistol — stand back to back against a neon-drenched cityscape, with a massive red-and-black snake coiled around them both. It's a striking opener from writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Goran Sudžuka, whose cover crackles with the energy of a sun-soaked noir thriller. BOOM! Studios kicks off this series with serious style to spare.
