Basilisk #9

Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf's unsettling horror series reaches its ninth chapter with a cover that's quietly haunting — a white-haired woman lies in a flower-strewn bed, her expression unreadable, while four ghostly silhouettes loom behind her and a skeletal, antlered skull crowns the headboard above. Jonas Scharf's linework, colored by Alex Guimarães, balances pastoral softness with genuine dread, making the blooming wildflowers at the foreground feel less like comfort and more like an omen. "Chapter Nine: Confessions" promises the kind of slow-burn tension that Basilisk does so well.
