The Bounce #7

Joe Casey and David Messina's The Bounce continues with issue #7, and David Messina's cover sets a striking, unsettling tone — a pale, dark-haired figure in a tattered costume bearing a question-mark emblem is slumped and battered, surrounded by vivid red blood splatter against a cold gray backdrop. The costume's shredded, crystalline details and the figure's grim, half-conscious expression make it immediately clear that things have gone very badly for someone. At $2.99 from Image, this mature-rated series shows no sign of pulling its punches.
