Exquisite Corpses #5

A mummy-wrapped figure with long red hair, a cracked skull-like face, and bright yellow gloves commands the foreground of this striking Image Comics cover — one middle finger raised with unmistakable attitude, a knife clutched in the other hand. Behind the central figure, a raucous Halloween-tinged rock scene unfolds in vivid orange and purple, populated by jack-o'-lanterns, guitar-wielding performers, and chaotic energy. Michael Walsh's cover work sets a gloriously grimy, horror-punk tone for this fifth installment of the Jordie Bellaire and James Tynion IV series.
