Edward Scissorhands #2

The gentle watercolor artistry of Kevin Wada sets a quietly unsettling tone for this second issue from IDW, as Edward — his scissor-hands poised above a wide-eyed, red-haired young woman seated in a salon chair — looks down with his familiar pale, stitched expression. Flanking the central pair are two onlooking women (one pink-haired, one purple-haired) and a small terrier, their reactions a perfect mix of calm curiosity and barely-contained anxiety. It's a beautifully composed cover that captures the tender strangeness at the heart of the Edward Scissorhands world.
