Dark Ages #[nn]

Dan Abnett and the remarkably versatile I.N.J. Culbard — who handles writing duties alongside Abnett and renders every line of art, color, and lettering himself — team up for Dark Ages, a 2015 Dark Horse series that blends science fiction dread with visceral, on-the-ground tension. The cover plants you right in the chaos: a group of armored soldiers recoils in the foreground as an enormous, horned alien creature looms close, its long tentacle snaking toward them, all set against a fiery red sky and the dark silhouettes of towering structures. Culbard's bold, graphic linework and rich color palette make the collision between desperate humanity and something far larger feel immediate and genuinely unsettling.
