Sex Criminals #3

Chip Zdarsky's striking cover for Sex Criminals #3 says everything with very little — two figures rendered in bold blue and black silhouette, intimately entwined against a clean white background, with a subtle target motif hovering above them. The minimalist design is quietly daring, letting the stark contrast of shapes carry all the tension and warmth Matt Fraction and Zdarsky have built into this series. Subtitled "My Sexual Errors and Misfortunes 2001 – Present," this third issue promises the kind of honest, sharp-edged storytelling that made this Image title one of 2013's most talked-about new comics.
