The Boys #15

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's mature-readers series hits issue fifteen with a cover that puts a star-spangled superheroine front and center — wide-eyed and visibly shaken, suitcase in hand, as she steps through a doorway to find a caped figure sprawled across the bed in the foreground. Robertson's composition does a lot of heavy lifting here, letting the stunned expression and the ambiguous scene behind that open door speak volumes about what "Good for the Soul Part One" might have in store. If Ennis's sharp, irreverent take on superhero culture is your thing, this 2008 Dynamite issue delivers that mood right from the cover alone.
