Slow Burn #3

With two issues already keeping readers on edge, Slow Burn #3 from BOOM! Studios arrives at the midpoint of this five-issue crime series. Matt Taylor's cover says everything without saying a word — a figure dressed in black stands over someone kneeling on the ground, a pair of handcuffs connecting captor and captive in a tense, wordless standoff. Ollie Masters and Pierluigi Minotti continue their collaboration on "Kary," promising the same brooding tension that's made this series one of 2023's more gripping noir reads.
