The Boys #12

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's mature-readers series continues with issue twelve, and the cover makes a striking case for why The Boys earns its reputation for hard-edged tension. Darick Robertson's cover art frames a figure wearing distinctive goggle-glasses crawling desperately along a snow-dusted city street, while four imposing figures in dark coats loom over him from behind — a bulldog visible among them — set against a gritty urban backdrop. It's a quietly menacing composition that captures the series' signature dynamic of power, surveillance, and being very much on the wrong end of someone's attention.
