The Backstagers #4

A wide-eyed young backstager sits atop a sticker-covered suitcase at the center of this wonderfully strange cover by Veronica Fish, surrounded by a swirling array of theatrical curiosities — a snarling tiger head, an eerie pale mask, a brain in a jar, a katana, a glowing astronaut helmet, a lobster, and more peculiar props than any sensible stage manager could catalog. The sheer density of weird, magical inventory hovering around him perfectly captures the anything-can-happen spirit James Tynion IV and Rian Sygh bring to this BOOM! Box series. Act: Four looks like exactly the kind of issue where the backstage world gets a little bigger and a lot more unpredictable.
