East of West #38

Rendered in a striking palette of burnt orange and deep red, this cover for East of West #38 features a skeletal, otherworldly figure surging forward with fierce momentum against a stark, windswept landscape — pure visual menace distilled into a single image by Nick Dragotta. Jonathan Hickman's sprawling alternate-history epic is in full swing by 2018, and an issue titled "The Once and Future King" promises the kind of grand, mythic tension this series does so well. If you've been following Death and the Horsemen across this long, ambitious saga, issue #38 is exactly the kind of installment that reminds you why you started.
