Basilisk #2

Chapter Two of Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf's supernatural thriller assembles its cast of dangerous figures in striking fashion — a towering hooded presence dominates the background while five distinct characters fill the foreground, including a smirking man in shades, a woman leveling a pistol, a white-haired figure, a young woman wearing a flower crown, and a shadowed man in a wide-brimmed hat, all arranged around an ominous horned skull at the center. Alex Guimarães's deep blues and warm skin tones give the composition a moody, painterly atmosphere that suits the series' dark tone perfectly. If "Blessings of the Chimera" sounds like it promises something unsettling, this cover makes an equally compelling visual case.
