Deep Beyond #9

A blonde woman bearing blood spatter on her face and shirt stands at the center of this striking Image Comics cover, exuding a quiet, unsettling confidence amid the tension radiating from the group of characters surrounding her — some wary, some defeated, one child sitting apart in quiet distress. Andrea Broccardo's linework and Barbara Nosenzo's muted pinks and reds create an atmosphere that feels both clinical and dangerous, perfectly suited to an arc titled "Dangerous Knowledge." Issue #9 of Mirka Andolfo and David Goy's undersea sci-fi thriller keeps the stakes feeling very real.
