Sheriff of Babylon #2

The Sheriff of Babylon #2 (March 2016) drops readers into the grim, morally tangled world Tom King and Mitch Gerads built for Vertigo's mature-readers line. John Paul Leon's cover sets the tone unflinchingly — a silver-haired man in a white shirt and blue latex gloves stands over a bloodied body on a stretcher, surrounded by the wreckage and weary figures of what feels like a war-zone makeshift morgue. It's a quiet, haunting image that earns every word of the "breathtaking" praise already adorning this second issue.
