Thief of Thieves #17

A figure plunges helplessly through the air against a stark crimson sky, arms splayed wide as armed men line the rooftops of an imposing Italian-style building above — it's a cover that grabs you by the collar. Martinbrough and Serrano's artwork is all cool grays and hot reds, creating a mood that's equal parts thriller and noir. With Kirkman, Diggle, and the rest of the team behind it, this 2013 Image series continues to deliver the kind of stylish, high-stakes crime storytelling that keeps readers coming back issue after issue.
