Black Badge #2

The second chapter of Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins's chilling series drops the young Black Badge scouts into a frozen, unforgiving wilderness — and the cover by Matt Kindt makes the stakes feel immediate. Three scouts in heavy fur-trimmed parkas navigate a snow-swept landscape, one armed with a crossbow and quiver, another raising a weapon overhead, while a distant figure watches from a ridge above a column of fire and dark smoke. Beneath the snow line, a half-buried skeleton hints at the cold dangers lurking just below the surface, with Hilary Jenkins's muted, wintry palette tying the whole haunting scene together beautifully.
