The Boys #63

Darick Robertson's cover for this 2011-dated entry in Garth Ennis and Russ Braun's unflinching superhero satire says everything without saying a word: a dark-haired young woman sits cross-legged atop a vast mound of severed heads, quietly eating from a bag of chocolate limes with an almost eerie calm. The contrast between that small, mundane comfort and the grim throne she occupies is exactly the kind of unsettling wit The Boys does so well. Part four of "Over The Hills With The Swords of A Thousand Men" promises more of the series' signature blend of dark humor and genuine menace from the Dynamite team.
