Suicide Risk #5

Two figures huddle together in a moody urban night, their faces bathed in the eerie blue-white glow of a luminous object one of them holds aloft — whatever that device is, it clearly carries serious weight. Mike Carey and Joëlle Jones bring a grounded, tension-laced atmosphere to this fifth issue of Suicide Risk, with the cityscape looming behind the pair adding a sense of scale to what feels like a very personal, precarious moment. BOOM! Studios' 2013 series continues to look like one of the more intriguing character-driven takes on a world where extraordinary power comes at a steep human cost.
