Crave #3

Maria Llovet's Crave continues with its third issue from Image Comics, and the cover alone signals something deeply unsettling and beautiful. A wide-eyed young woman with dark hair stands at the center, her hands pressed together near her throat as golden ivy winds around her body — while behind her looms a pale, green-haired figure clutching a vine-wrapped staff with an unsettling calm. Every line and color on this cover is pure Llovet, whose complete creative control over the series gives it a hauntingly unified vision that feels unlike anything else on shelves in 2024.
