Black Magick #14

Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott's supernatural series continues with "Ascension I (Part 003)," rendered here in Scott's signature grayscale palette with just a haunting flicker of color — two figures lie together, one with unsettling ember-lit eyes that stand out as the sole point of warmth in an otherwise cool, quiet composition. The intimacy of the image carries an undercurrent of unease, that small but unmistakable supernatural detail giving the moment a charged, ambiguous quality. Scott's pencils and inks are beautifully precise, and it's a cover that draws you in with stillness before the strangeness registers.
