SpyBoy #8

Against a backdrop of roiling flames, a red-haired woman in a sleek combat outfit — long braid, fishnet stockings, and arm guards — raises a staff or blade with cool, battle-ready confidence. It's a striking image from cover artists Pop Mhan and Dave Nestelle that sets an unmistakably action-charged tone for "License to Hurt." Peter David and Carlos Meglia's SpyBoy was consistently one of Dark Horse's more stylish action titles in 2000, and this eighth issue looks ready to deliver on that promise.
