The Boys #19

Five hard-faced figures loom over the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset on Darick Robertson's striking cover for this 2008 Dynamite issue — a blonde woman in a masquerade mask, a shadowy figure, a stern blond man draped in heavy chains, a character in an old-fashioned diving helmet, and a pale bald figure flanking the right edge. Garth Ennis and Robertson's mature-readers series kicks off a new story arc with issue nineteen, subtitled "I Tell You No Lie, G.I. Part One," and the determined expressions on these assembled characters suggest the team means serious business against a city-sized backdrop.
