Blood Queen vs. Dracula #3

The Blood Queen holds court in commanding fashion on this striking cover by Jay Anacleto — crowned in gold and armored in crimson, she kneels before a great mirror framed by chains and flanked by towering monstrous figures, her army assembled in formation below. Reflected in the mirror, a chaotic battle scene hints at the dark forces she contends with in this third chapter of Dynamite's 2015 miniseries. Anacleto's detailed linework and Ivan Nunes's rich coloring give the whole composition a painterly grandeur that makes this issue a standout on any shelf.
