The Boys #4

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's mature-readers series continues with issue four of The Boys, and Robertson's cover alone sets the tone perfectly — a wide-eyed, bearded man fills nearly the entire frame, a syringe loaded with glowing blue liquid pressed ominously against his neck by an unseen hand. It's an unsettling, almost uncomfortably intimate image that captures the series' dark edge with quiet precision. "Cherry Part Two" promises to keep the tension running high in this WildStorm series about a world where superhero accountability is anything but simple.
