Courtesy of Ahoy Comics, we’ve got an exclusive first look at the cover of Babs: The Black Road South #6, the finale of the second Babs miniseries from writer Garth Ennis and artist Jacen Burrows. The issue arrives June 24.
Babs: The Black Road South is the follow-up to last year’s Babs, which introduced sharp-tongued, sharper-sworded barbarian Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy. The new six-issue series picks up after a gladiator arena victory lands the pair an unexpected windfall, which has even more unexpected consequences.
The finale’s solicit promises an intense showdown, with Babs inside a live volcano, dodging flame and steel while facing an infinitely powerful artifact, an undead swordswoman and what the solicit describes only as “one distressingly kinky hobbit.” The cover is by Burrows, which you can see below:

Monumental conclusion! Inside a live volcano—ducking flame, steel, and the spraying filth of battle—Babs at last comes face-to-face with an infinitely powerful artifact, an undead swordswoman, and one distressingly kinky hobbit! “One of the most gloriously unhinged fantasy comics of the last several years.”—AIPT
