Family Tree #8

Jeff Lemire's unsettling horror series delivers another gut-punch with this eighth issue, featuring a cover by Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur that is hard to look away from. A bloodied, shirtless figure slumps against a bullet-riddled stone wall, clutching himself in agony while a crimson-soaked tree looms and drips above him — equal parts visceral and haunting. With Ryan Cody's stark red-and-grey palette amplifying every wound and shadow, this cover perfectly captures the series' blend of family drama and creeping dread.
