Dead Mall #2

Dark Horse's Dead Mall continues with a cover that's equal parts glamour and dread — a close-up of glossy red lips about to bite down on a rotting, yellowed finger, the contrast between beauty and decay rendered in unsettling detail. The skull-adorned logo and torn-magazine collage aesthetic set the tone perfectly for whatever lurks inside this retail nightmare. Adam Cesare, David Stoll, and Justin Birch deliver a second issue that looks as provocative as it does genuinely creepy.
