The Agency #2

Paul Jenkins and Kyle Hotz's Top Cow/Image series continues with this September 2001 issue, teasing that a serial killer is on the loose — and it's not who you'd expect. The cover, drawn and inked by Kyle Hotz, places two figures back-to-back — an orange-haired man in a torn, patterned jacket and a dark-haired woman in tactical gear — standing hand-in-hand before a towering, nightmarish mechanical entity bristling with tentacles, eyes, and grotesque organic details against a blood-red sky. It's a visually arresting setup that pairs human vulnerability with something genuinely unsettling lurking behind them.
