Basilisk #6

Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf's Basilisk reaches its sixth chapter with a cover that crackles with unsettling menace — a pale-haired woman crouches low, her arm grotesquely mottled with scale-like corruption, one hand gripping a human skull wreathed in billowing pink and blue smoke. Jonas Scharf's linework and Alex Guimarães's eerie, cool-toned palette give the image a hypnotic beauty that makes the danger feel all the more seductive. If "Showdown" is the promise, this 2022 BOOM! Studios release makes clear that whatever collision is coming will be anything but ordinary.
