Sex #22

Joe Casey's Sex has always been a series that plays its cards close to the chest, and issue #22 from Image keeps that spirit alive with a striking teal-toned cover portrait of a sharply dressed man studying something resting in his open palm, his expression cool and calculating. The bold cover text — "Breaks! Damn Straight!" — hints at a charged moment in this mature, noir-inflected series. At $2.99, it's a moody, well-crafted entry in one of 2015's more quietly compelling Image titles.
