Dean Koontz's Nevermore #4

The penultimate issue of Dynamite's adaptation of Dean Koontz's Nevermore puts a man in immediate, terrifying peril — the cover shows him pinned and helpless as a massive, razor-clawed creature looms over him, its gaping maw open wide and dripping with menace. Leno Carvalho's painted artwork, colored with atmospheric blues and purples by Steve Downer, gives the monster a genuinely unsettling alien quality that suits Koontz's brand of dark suspense perfectly. If the series has been building toward a confrontation, this cover makes clear that issue #4 is where things get truly dire.
