Criminal Macabre: The Big Bleed Out #3

Issue three of four in "The Big Bleed Out" finds Cal McDonald — leather-jacketed and clutching a bloody knife — staring down whatever nightmarish threat looms around him, flanked on the cover by a glowing-eyed skull and a monstrous red eye bleeding into a crimson haze, with palm trees and his car (plate reading "MONSTERMAN") visible in the eerie background. Gyula Németh pulls double duty as both interior artist and cover artist, delivering a moody, sun-bleached Los Angeles atmosphere that feels equal parts noir and supernatural horror. With Steve Niles writing and Nate Piekos of Blambot on letters, this Dark Horse miniseries is deep in its penultimate stretch and building toward something genuinely unsettling.
