24Seven #2

The second volume of Image's *24Seven* anthology arrives in 2007 with a cover as atmospheric as its title suggests — a lone armored figure stands on a rain-slicked urban street, graffiti-tagged walls looming behind them, while shadowy pedestrians drift along the sidewalk in the distance. The moody, largely monochromatic artwork punctuated by bold orange branding gives the whole thing a gritty, street-level energy that feels right at home in the anthology's around-the-clock urban world. At its cover price, this is a handsome package for fans of hard-edged, city-soaked storytelling.
