Book of Lost Souls #2

From Marvel's Icon imprint, this second chapter of J. Michael Straczynski and Colleen Doran's dark fantasy series draws you in immediately with a cover that earns its story title, "Dragons in the Dishwater." Doran's artwork presents a lone dark-haired figure standing defiantly small beneath a massive, looming dragon wreathed in fire and thorned branches, roses scattered at the foreground — a striking composition that balances quiet human resolve against something vast and terrifying. The rich, painterly colors by Dan Brown give the whole image a stained-glass intensity that makes this 2006 series feel genuinely distinctive on the shelf.
