The Boys #48

Garth Ennis kicks off "Proper Preparation and Planning" with a cover by Darick Robertson that says everything in pure silhouette: a figure perched atop a rooftop ledge mid-kick, a jagged bolt of lightning splitting the stormy blue sky between them, and a caped figure tumbling helplessly into the darkness below. It's a striking, stripped-down composition that captures the series' core tension — regular people pushing back hard against costumed power — with real atmospheric menace. Russ Braun and Tony Aviña handle the interiors, promising the same sharp storytelling that's made this mature-readers series one of Dynamite's most compelling ongoing titles.
