Space Bandits #4

Mark Millar and Matteo Scalera's Space Bandits reaches its fourth issue with a cover that practically pulses with neon menace — a heavily tattooed woman sits enthroned amid a crowd of alien creatures, while a sinuous blue extraterrestrial looms at her side and a larger, darker alien presence lurks imposingly behind her, all bathed in the flickering glow of pink candlelight. Scalera's linework gives the scene a wild, pulpy energy that feels right at home in the cosmos-noir world this series has been building. If you've been following this sci-fi crime romp through its 2019 run, this issue's cover promises the story is only getting stranger and more dangerous.
