Books of Magic #2

Part of DC's Sandman Universe line, Books of Magic #2 brings writer Kat Howard and artist Tom Fowler back for another chapter subtitled "Unreliable Narrators" — a title that hints at layered mysteries ahead. Kai Carpenter's cover painting sets an immediately unsettling mood: a bespectacled young figure sits in the foreground while a sharp-eyed woman in a suit looms behind him, her hands stained a deep, ominous red, all set against a twilight skyline etched with glowing constellation imagery. It's a quietly compelling image that balances youthful vulnerability against something far more threatening — a great reason to keep following this Mature Readers series.
