Throwaways #6

Throwaways wraps up its first arc with this quietly intense cover from Sanders — a young figure in a plain t-shirt stands dead center, a pistol in each hand and a determined, steely expression on his face, all set against a stark white background with a dramatic blood-splatter burst erupting behind his head. The minimalist design puts every ounce of tension on that unflinching gaze, making the contrast between his ordinary clothes and the weapons he carries all the more unsettling. Kittredge, Sanders, and Wands deliver a series from Image Comics that earns its place in 2017's wave of grounded, character-driven thriller comics.
