SUICIDE RISK #5 Covers Should Call a Hotline

I have an admission now. BOOM! keeps racking up talent to do original books, and I’m behind. Historically when the creator of Suicide Risk, Mike Carey would do an original series, I would read it. I had intended to read this one, but somehow, the first issue snuck past me. The second issue is actually out today, and these? These are the covers for the fith issue, out in 3 months.

So you look at these, and I will catch up on the first two issues, and report back somewhere. Deal?

Because Mike Carey? He can write a hell of a comic book series. Plus, art for this issue is from the incomparable Joëlle Jones, the interiors of which, you’ll have to wait to see.

Before Leo, before Memento Mori, before Diva…there was Ada Robins.

When super-power slinging dealers Jed and Hailey find Ada — a kind-hearted, if downtrodden mother of two — she had been watching her life fall apart in slow motion decades now, with no hope of putting it back together. Life having primed her for Jed and Hailey’s Faustian bargain, Ada finds herself at the moral crossroads — finally have the freedom from crushing responsibility, or keep her beleaguered family together? And what’s stopping her, if she really thinks about it, from just having…both? A stand-alone tale perfect for new readers.
