Briar #7

Christopher Cantwell's dark fairy-tale series reaches its seventh chapter with a cover that radiates brooding intensity — a battle-worn young woman in a gold-trimmed coat crouches forward, sword in hand, blood on her fingers, her defiant gaze cutting straight through the viewer against a smoldering crimson sky. Alex Lins handles every aspect of the cover art, and the painted-style linework and moody color palette make this image genuinely hard to put down. Boom! Studios continues to deliver one of 2024's more visually striking fantasy series with this entry.
