Evil Ernie #1

Dynamite's 2014 revival of Evil Ernie kicks off with a cover that sets the tone perfectly: a pale, blue-skinned woman in gothic attire strides confidently alongside a grinning, cowboy-hatted Ernie, his skeletal torso radiating a sickly green energy while a junkyard wasteland and a road sign reading "Hell — 666 mi." stretch out behind them. It's a striking visual duo that promises equal parts horror and dark attitude. With Tim Seeley, Steve Seeley, and Rafael Lanhellas steering the series, this first issue looks like a bold, stylish reintroduction to one of horror comics' most gleefully menacing characters.
