Soda #12

A close-up of a young NYPD officer dominates this striking cover — badge number 1735 on her cap, a gleaming semi-automatic pistol raised in one hand and a single bullet held pointedly in the other, all set against a vivid red background that crackles with tension. Bruno Gazzotti's linework is expressive and bold, giving the image a sharp, cinematic energy perfectly suited to the "Operation Apokalypse" storyline. The twelfth volume in the long-running Soda series, this 2006 Salleck Publications edition pairs Gazzotti's cover art with a script from Tome, making it a compelling chapter in one of Franco-Belgian comics' more distinctive crime series.
