Shanghai Red #4

The crimson-soaked cover of Shanghai Red #4 says everything about where this Image series is headed: a knife-wielding figure looms over a fallen opponent whose hands reach up in desperate surrender, all rendered in Josh Hixson's brooding, rain-streaked palette of deep red and shadow. It's a stark, atmospheric image that captures the brutal momentum of this revenge-driven series with real economy and confidence. Christopher Sebela and Hixson are building something genuinely compelling here, and issue four looks to push it further into the dark.
