Coyotes #1

Caitlin Yarsky's cover for this 2017 Image series opener is an immediate, arresting statement: a young woman stares straight at the viewer, her hands crossed and drenched in blood, two katanas rising behind her shoulders like dark wings, and a crown of deep red roses framing her face. The blood streaking her cheeks and the quiet defiance in her expression strike a balance between vulnerability and ferocity that's genuinely hard to look away from. Coyotes announces itself as something fierce and atmospheric right from issue one.
