The Silencer #17

Tyler Kirkham's cover for issue #17 tells a striking story all on its own: a battered, battle-worn Silencer sits slumped in a destroyed armchair, her torn costume and smeared face paint signaling she's been through hell, while an armored figure lies defeated beneath her feet. The single word blazoned across the bottom — "SILENCED!" — carries real weight alongside that smoke-filled, lamp-lit wreckage of a room. Dan Abnett, V Ken Marion, Sandu Florea, and Mike Spicer bring "Home Invasion, Part 2" to a close with all the bruised, hard-won intensity this series does so well.
