Ronin Island #6

A katana driven through a smoldering skull against a twilight shoreline sets a somber, striking tone for this sixth chapter of Greg Pak and Giannis Milonogiannis's Ronin Island. The warm, hazy palette — glowing embers, a pale moon, distant reeds — gives the image a painterly stillness that makes its violence feel all the more haunting. With Irma Kniivila's colors lending the whole scene an almost elegiac beauty, this 2019 Boom! Studios issue signals that the series is steering into genuinely weighty territory.
