Sex Criminals #26

Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's beloved series enters its final chapter with "The End: Part One," and Zdarsky's cover sets the mood perfectly — a painterly, pink-saturated portrait of a red-haired woman in an "I'm With Stunted" shirt standing back-to-back with a bespectacled man, both of them looking away from each other with unmistakable tension. That quietly loaded image captures everything this series does so well: humor, heart, and the complicated space between two people. If you've been along for the whole ride, 2020's issue #26 is where the ending begins.
