Dark Engine #3

Dark Engine continues to push into genuinely unsettling territory with this third issue from Image. The cover — by the creative team of Burton, Bivens, and Fitzpatrick — depicts a curly-haired warrior plummeting downward, wearing an animal skull as a mask and clutching a blade, falling directly toward a cluster of massive upward-pointing spears against a sparse, snow-dusted white background. It's a striking, vertigo-inducing composition that captures the brutal, primordial energy this series wears so well.
