Rocket #4

Part four of "The Blue River Score" arrives in style, with Mike Mayhew's cover painting a gloriously pulpy picture: Deadpool, draped in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat with a katana strapped to his back, levels a submachine gun against a blazing amber moon, while a dapper Rocket Raccoon — decked out in a pinstripe suit and matching fedora — stands ready at his side with a rifle of his own. The whole composition drips with noir gangster energy, two heavily armed antiheroes looking like they've just stepped out of a 1930s crime saga set somewhere deep in the cosmos. Al Ewing, Adam Gorham, and Michael Garland bring the "Dirty Money" chapter to life, and if this cover is any indication, the tone inside is every bit as stylish and irreverent.
