Die #15

The large geometric title logo frames a haunting central portrait of a dark-haired young woman wearing a small crown, her hands clasped over her mouth in an expression of dread or disbelief — while surrounding triangular panels reveal fallen figures, a resting bulldog, and a spear-wielding warrior amid the aftermath of what looks like widespread collapse. Stephanie Hans's painterly work gives the whole composition a muted, melancholy beauty that perfectly suits the tone of Kieron Gillen's dark fantasy series. Issue #15 of Die, subtitled "PvP," arrives in 2020 with letters by Clayton Cowles, and this cover alone promises something quietly devastating waiting inside.
