Family Tree #6

Jeff Lemire's unsettling survival series reaches its sixth chapter, and Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur's cover sets the tone perfectly — a heavily armed figure, chainsaw in hand and rifle on their back, stands alone before a dense, overgrown forest under a sickly pink sky, with a single small leaf drifting to the ground nearby. There's something quietly ominous about that solitary stance facing the encroaching green, suggesting a world where nature itself has become the adversary. If you've been following this eerie tale from Image, issue six looks to push things further into the dark.
