Thief of Thieves #23

The Hit List" reaches its fourth chapter in this 2014 entry from Image's acclaimed crime series. Shawn Martinbrough's cover presents a heavily armed, goggled figure in winter camouflage moving through a snow-dusted forest, large-bore rifle in hand — a tense, atmospheric image that captures the series' cool-blooded thriller tone perfectly. With Andy Diggle writing and Martinbrough and Adriano Lucas bringing their sharp visual sensibility to the interior pages, this is a compelling mid-arc installment for fans of smart, stylish crime comics.
