Bomb Queen V: The Divine Comedy #2

The second chapter of Bomb Queen V: The Divine Comedy arrives from Shadowline/Image with a cover that says everything about New Bombville's twisted appeal: Bomb Queen herself dominates the scene from above — literally, her imposing figure looming over the street — while a white-and-red-costumed hero and a girl in a cat-eared hood scramble below her, a black cat weaving between their feet amid the urban chaos. A street sign banning heroes "by law of the Bomb Queen" sets the tone perfectly for this 2008 Mature Readers series, where order and lawlessness have a very unconventional arrangement. If you've been following this six-part arc, issue two promises the same gleefully anarchic energy the series delivers so well.
