The Killer: Affairs of the State II #1

Matz and Luc Jacamon's celebrated noir series continues with this 2025 Archaia/BOOM! Studios opener, and Jacamon's cover sets a quietly gripping tone: a hooded figure in blue sunglasses crouches low in a snow-covered landscape, rifle slung across his back, drops of red stark against the white ground at his fingertips. The bare winter trees casting long blue shadows behind him make the whole scene feel both desolate and tense — a world where careful stillness is its own kind of violence. A strong start to the next chapter of one of crime comics' most thoughtfully rendered series.
