Curse Words #10

Charles Soule and Ryan Browne's Curse Words hits issue #10 with a cover that frames everything through a dark, serpentine portal — a long-bearded wizard in red-tinted glasses strides forward wielding a staff in one hand and a crackling sphere of blue magical energy in the other, with a small fox-like creature scurrying at his feet. Ryan Browne's linework and colors give the scene a wonderfully loose, kinetic energy, the circular opening acting like a window into some rugged, rocky otherworld. If you've been following this offbeat magical series through its first ten issues, this cover suggests the wild ride is very much still on.
