The Mercenary Sea #2

Three figures clash atop a surfacing submarine as churning waves crash around the hull — one fires a weapon while another looms over the struggle, all set against a fiery orange sky that perfectly captures the pulpy, high-seas adventure tone of "Red Sails at Sunset." The low angle of the cover puts you right in the spray alongside them, with what appears to be an aircraft's tail fin cutting into the foreground for an extra jolt of danger. Kel Symons and Mathew Reynolds are crafting something with real vintage-adventure energy here, and issue #2 from Image makes a strong case for staying aboard for the ride.
