American Vampire: Second Cycle #10

Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque's American Vampire: Second Cycle reaches its fifth chapter of "Dark Moon" with this November 2015 Vertigo entry. Albuquerque's cover is strikingly atmospheric — a glowing satellite drifts through a dark, cold sky while brooding washes of deep crimson and shadow churn below, suggesting something ancient and menacing pressing up from the darkness. Dave McCaig's moody color palette makes the contrast between that cold orbital light and the blood-red depths below feel genuinely unsettling.
