Curse Words #18

Charles Soule and Ryan Browne's wild Image series reaches issue #18 with a cover that feels like a fever dream from the natural world — a writhing mass of creatures including a large open-mouthed reptile, a long-beaked bird, a squirrel, a parrot-like figure, and several mammals all tangled together in an unsettling, densely packed composition. Ryan Browne handles both the pencils and inks here, and the result is a beautifully chaotic jumble of eyes and teeth that perfectly captures the series' gleefully unhinged energy. If you've been following Curse Words, this cover alone signals that things are still delightfully strange.
