Black Science #9

Two children crouch low among rocks and scattered skulls in the foreground, eyes wide as they peer toward a towering, glowing-eyed figure draped in dark robes and a wide-brimmed hat — an imposing presence leading a procession through an alien landscape of pink mushrooms, pine trees, and a distant pagoda beneath twin moons. Matteo Scalera's cover for this 2014 Image series captures the dimension-hopping danger of Black Science with a moody palette brought to vivid life by Dean White's colors. Rick Remender's wild interdimensional saga is firing on all cylinders by issue nine, and this cover alone makes a compelling case for jumping aboard.
