B.P.R.D.: The Black Goddess #2

A serene young woman sits cross-legged in a meditative pose, utterly calm against the looming presence of a massive, skull-adorned demonic figure that towers behind her — it's a striking image that speaks volumes about the unsettling power dynamics at the heart of this 2009 Dark Horse series. Kevin Nowlan's cover work renders the contrast beautifully, bathing the scene in cool blues and shadows while a large skull rests ominously in the foreground. With Mike Mignola and John Arcudi steering the story and Guy Davis on interior art, B.P.R.D.: The Black Goddess continues to deliver the kind of atmospheric supernatural tension that makes this Bureau's missions so compelling.
