Count Crowley: Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter #1

Dark Horse kicks off this four-issue series with a cover that makes a confident statement: a defiant woman in vampire-styled makeup and a red-lined coat stands her ground, hammer in one hand and a bag of supplies in the other, chains draped across her shoulders — all while a massive, fang-filled creature looms in the smoky red sky behind her, with a broadcast tower marked "KSKB" visible in the background. Lukas Ketner's linework crackles with pulpy horror energy, and Lauren Affe's crimson-drenched palette sets an atmosphere that feels equal parts late-night creature feature and hard-boiled adventure. If the title "Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter" and David Dastmalchian's name attached as writer aren't enough to draw you in, that grinning beast on the cover absolutely seals the deal.
