Slots #5

Dan Panosian's gritty Skybound series reaches its fifth issue with a cover that's all tense economy — two tattooed, weathered hands gripping each other against a burnished gold background, the image stripped down to something raw and human. That close-up framing says everything about the world of Slots: bruised, personal, and charged with unspoken stakes. If you've been following this Vegas-soaked noir, issue five looks like it's ready to tighten the screws.
