SpyBoy #2

Peter David and Pop Mhan's SpyBoy hits its stride with issue #2, and the cover — penciled by Pop Mhan — wastes no time making the case for "razor-sharp action." A young, blue-suited hero stands his ground at the bottom, pistol raised, while above him a sword-wielding woman in red clashes mid-air against a trio of masked, blue-clad opponents tumbling through the bold pink-and-yellow title design. It's a kinetic, manga-inflected composition that captures exactly the kind of fast-moving, stylish espionage energy this 1999 Dark Horse series promises.
