Sex Criminals #28

Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's acclaimed series moves into its penultimate stretch with "The End: Part Three," and this cover by Zdarsky says so much without a word — two figures, a bearded man and a long-haired woman, both in hoodies and glasses, rendered in a warm painterly green palette, their gazes averted from each other in a mood that feels quietly heavy. The emotional weight between them is palpable, suggesting a relationship at a crossroads as the series winds toward its conclusion. If you've been following this Image series, issue #28 is exactly the kind of thoughtful, character-driven entry that reminds you why you started reading in the first place.
