The Intrepids #4

Operation: Fish Fry!" is the mission at hand in this fourth issue of Image's stylish action series, and the cover sets the mood perfectly — a looming, wide-eyed villain peers down over a rocky coastal lighthouse while the Intrepids charge into action below, a red-haired woman with a pistol and a hulking teammate in a trench coat leading the way, with two more young team members visible in the shadows. The tagline "Mad scientists are a disease. Meet the cure." captures the book's sharp, pulpy confidence, and the spiral-beam composition by Kurtis J. Wiebe and Scott Kowalchuk (with Donna Gregory) delivers real retro-spy energy. If you've been following this team's adventures, this issue looks like a genuinely satisfying chapter.
