Evil Ernie #2

Chaos and Dynamite Entertainment's 2014 revival of Evil Ernie delivers a viscerally striking second issue, with a cover showing the undead antihero's decayed, snarling face erupting from a writhing mass of pink worms, his clawed hands reaching toward the viewer while his signature smiley-face button tumbles helplessly in the corner. Tim Seeley, Steve Seeley, and Rafael Lanhellas bring a gruesome energy to this reimagining, capturing everything unsettling about the character in one unforgettable image. Horror fans who appreciate their comics with genuine bite will find this one hard to put down — or look away from.
