Drawing Blood #3

Drawing Blood promises exactly what its subtitle delivers — "The Story Behind the Stories" — and this third issue from Image keeps the creative chaos fully charged. The cover is a densely layered fever dream: a disheveled, red-bearded man in a rumpled suit clutches a small object in the foreground, while behind him a figure is suspended in a blazing orb of light, a ghostly woman drifts at the edge of a darkened cityscape, and a snarling wolf creature menaces a wide-eyed child in the lower corner. With Eastman, Avallone, Bishop, Little, Peer, and Esposito all credited, this 2024 series wears its wild ambitions openly on its sleeve.
