Throwaways #8

Throwaways #8 from Image Comics presents a quietly intense cover: a young woman with dark hair, glasses, and a plaid shirt stands alone against a stark white background, a messenger bag slung over her shoulder and what appears to be a small device in her hand — all framed by an ominous blood-red splatter burst above her. The minimalist design gives her a deceptively ordinary look that makes the violent imagery surrounding her all the more unsettling. Kittredge, Sanders, and Wands are delivering one of 2017's more grounded and compelling thriller series, and this issue looks to keep that tension running high.
