USA magazine #25
In "Le Son du banjo," Jaime Hernandez crafts a quietly tense tale of pursuit and identity, following Bomber as he tracks down Penny Century for H. R. Costigan—only to find her slipping through his grasp, both literally and emotionally. The story unfolds with a subtle, grounded rhythm, underscored by Hernandez’s expressive art and Paul Rivoche’s restrained coloring, while Dave Stevens and Tanino Liberatore deliver a striking cover that captures the issue’s mood of lingering mystery.
Penny Century vanishes into the city’s undercurrents, leaving a trail of quiet mystery that only Bomber Bones can follow. When fate finally reunites her with H. R. Costigan, she keeps her identity hidden—until Big 'Turo pulls her back into his orbit. But even as she’s brought face to face with the past, Penny’s already planning her next escape, leaving behind only the echo of a name and the weight of what’s to come.
