Absolute Wonder Woman #16

A new story arc kicks off in *Absolute Wonder Woman* #16, and the cover by Hayden Sherman sets a striking tone: a dark-haired woman in punk-styled street clothes stands with hands blazing in swirling blue mystical energy, her small figure framed against the enormous, red-eyed face of what can only be a formidable supernatural presence looming behind her. The contrast between that cool, crackling power and the ominous crimson stare fills the image with quiet tension. With Kelly Thompson writing, Sherman on art, and Jordie Bellaire's colors giving everything that eerie glow, "Season of the Witch, Part 1 of 5" looks like a compelling new chapter for this series — and there's even a bonus Vertigo preview of *The Nice House by the Sea* #7 tucked inside.
