Stillwater #10

A clenched fist thrusts upward clutching a bone-wrapped slingshot, while the looming silhouette of a skeletal hand dominates the crimson background — it's a striking image of defiance and makeshift weaponry from Ramón K. Pérez, with colors by Mike Spicer that give the whole thing an eerie, urgent glow. Chip Zdarsky's "Chapter Ten: A Better Place" promises the kind of quiet tension that Stillwater does so well, where survival is never as simple as the title suggests. If this series has been on your radar, issue #10 is a fine reminder of why this creative team keeps delivering.
