Suicide Risk #17

Mike Carey and Elena Casagrande's Suicide Risk reaches its seventeenth chapter with a cover that crackles with tension — a police officer in uniform grips a handgun as spent bullets scatter through the air around him, his badge catching the light while a ghostly orange figure looms behind him. The loose, painterly linework gives the whole image an unsettled energy that perfectly suits this BOOM! Studios series about the dangerous line between law and power. At $3.99, it's a compelling installment in one of 2014's more thought-provoking superhero titles.
