The Boys #9

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's mature-readers series rolls into its ninth issue with a cover that puts two figures squarely in someone's crosshairs — red targeting reticles locked onto both men as they stand in what appears to be a high-tech command center lined with glowing screens and readouts, the "TARGET LOCKED" overlay making their predicament unmistakably clear. The framing device — a dark, wing-like silhouette surrounding the scene — gives the whole image a surveillance-camera intimacy that feels genuinely unsettling. Robertson's cover art captures the series' blend of espionage tension and sardonic cool right on the surface.
