Sex #10

Joe Casey and Piotr Kowalski's mature Image series continues with issue #10, "Impact Season," and the cover says everything with quiet confidence — a tight close-up of a figure's midsection, a distinctive emblem-faced watch on the wrist, and the sharp geometry of a belt buckle rendered in Kowalski's precise linework and Brad Simpson's cool palette. It's a deliberately intimate, almost voyeuristic composition that captures the series' mood of tension simmering just beneath a composed surface. A compelling piece of design work that reflects exactly why Sex has carved out its own distinctive space in 2014's comics landscape.
