Good as Dead #5

David Lapham and María Lapham's gritty crime series reaches its fifth issue with a cover that pulls no punches — a tearful, blood-spattered female sheriff's deputy cradles what appears to be a body, her badge catching the light as prescription pill bottles and a handgun crowd the foreground. The raw emotion on her face, set against a chaotic, blood-streaked backdrop, captures everything that makes Good as Dead such a compelling slice of hardboiled noir. If you've been following this Image series through 2026, this cover alone makes clear the story has arrived at a genuinely harrowing moment.
