Chained to the Grave #2

The cover of Chained to the Grave #2 sets a wonderfully eerie tone, with two snarling alligators coiled together by a patterned yellow serpent, framed against a coffin-shaped golden glow deep in a hazy purple swamp. Kate Sherron's linework and colors make the scene feel simultaneously playful and unsettling — vivid greens against that dreamy, fog-drenched bayou backdrop. Writers Andy Eschenbach and Brian Level are crafting something with real personality, and this IDW series is shaping up to be one of 2021's more distinctive genre offerings.
