Black Science #7

Two figures — a determined young woman brandishing a skull-topped staff and a wide-eyed boy clutching a weapon — make their stand atop a rocky outcropping while grotesque, clawed creatures loom in the foreground and winged beasts circle a sickly green sky above them. Matteo Scalera's cover composition is all urgent verticality, pulling your eye from the monster-thick base up to those two very outnumbered survivors, with Dean White's murky, atmospheric palette making every threat feel immediate. Rick Remender's dimension-hopping series hits issue seven with a cover that perfectly captures the series' blend of science-fiction peril and visceral, creature-feature dread.
