Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #35

David Lapham's Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses continues its unflinching crime saga with issue #35, subtitled "Protect Your Brain" — a title that feels ominous the moment you see the cover. A red-haired woman lies on the ground, a knife held at her throat while a green, claw-like hand reaches toward her amid flashes of lightning, conveying real danger with Lapham's characteristically raw, expressive linework. Fans of this long-running Image series will find plenty to draw them into this 2018 installment.
