Artifacts #39

From Top Cow's Artifacts comes issue #39, showcasing the work of 2013 Talent Hunt winners Raven Heisenberg, Gustavo Brocanello, and Eddy Swan. The cover plunges you into something deeply unsettling — a gaunt, bark-textured humanoid creature looms at the center, clawed hands outstretched, while two snarling dark beasts with glowing green eyes flank it from below. Subtitled "The First Darkness," this 2014 entry in the long-running Top Cow Universe series promises atmosphere as wild and threatening as its cover suggests.
