The Holy Roller #7

Issue seven of The Holy Roller finds its dark-suited, goggle-eyed protagonist clinging to an industrial tower ladder against a smoldering dusk sky, smoke billowing across a cityscape far below — a cover image that radiates tension and gritty atmosphere in equal measure. Roland Boschi's cover work captures a real sense of vertigo and vulnerability, with those sweeping red arcs cutting dramatically through the burnt-orange sky. Rick Remender, Andy Samberg, and Joe Trohman's Image series continues to deliver a distinctive brand of pulpy, high-stakes energy well into its run.
