Gannibal #2

The tension is visceral on this cover — a bloodied, grotesque face peers through iron bars while a hand thrusts a knife forward in a scene dripping with dread and crimson detail. Masaaki Ninomiya's art pulls no punches, establishing Gannibal as one of the more genuinely unsettling manga series Ablaze has brought to Western readers. Volume 2 looks to deepen the horror considerably, and at $12.99 it's a compelling entry point into this dark, beautifully rendered world.
