The Fuse #1

From Antony Johnston and Justin Greenwood, The Fuse arrives in 2014 as a sharp sci-fi crime series from Image Comics. The cover sets the tone immediately: a stark red field mapped with orbital paths — Low Earth Orbit, GPS Orbit, and Retrograde Geostationary Orbit — centered on a bullet hole dripping blood down toward Earth, suggesting violence at a very, very high altitude. "The Russia Shift Part 1" promises murder mystery with a genuinely unusual setting, and this minimalist, design-forward cover by Greenwood (with colors by Shari Chankhamma) makes a compelling case to step aboard.
