The Field #2

A wild, dust-kicking motorcycle escape anchors this second issue of Image's The Field, with a wild-eyed rider launching his bike over a neon-lit roadside sign for "King Rocks Country Klub" while an armed, menacing group looms in the foreground — a bald, heavyset man front and center flanked by figures toting serious firepower. Simon Roy's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, pitting one seemingly outmatched individual against overwhelming odds in a way that makes the whole series feel gloriously unhinged. Ed Brisson and Simon Roy's 2014 collaboration already looks like a road-trip noir gone spectacularly sideways.
