Briar #1

Christopher Cantwell, Germán García, and Matheus Lopes bring a darkly reimagined fairy-tale world to life in this opening chapter from BOOM! Studios. The cover sets an immediately arresting tone: a young woman with long dark hair crouches alone in a ghostly, mist-shrouded forest, her expression weary and resolute, a blood-spattered weapon clutched in her hand and crimson pooling at her feet. It's a striking introduction to what promises to be a grounded, unsparing take on the sleeping-beauty myth — beautiful, haunting, and refreshingly unafraid of the thorns.
