Stillwater #5

A blood-stained gavel resting on its block, set against a roiling backdrop of flame-like reds and oranges — it's a quietly unsettling image that speaks volumes about the kind of justice dispensed in Stillwater. Chip Zdarsky's celebrated series continues with "This Isn't Living," and Ramón K. Pérez's cover art makes clear that whatever passes for law in this town comes at a grim price. If you've been following this Skybound series, issue #5 is exactly the kind of escalation the story has been building toward.
