The Boys #71

Darick Robertson's cover for this penultimate chapter of Garth Ennis and Russ Braun's mature-readers series puts a single face front and center — a shaved-headed man with a trimmed beard, wearing a dark jacket over a olive hoodie, his slight smirk carrying a quiet but unmistakable air of confidence. The stripped-down, portrait-style composition gives the image a deliberate, almost unsettling stillness that feels right at home in The Boys' world of morally complicated characters. With "The Bloody Doors Off Conclusion" as the story title, issue #71 promises the kind of unflinching storytelling this series built its reputation on.
