Grass Kings #2

Tyler Jenkins's cover for Grass Kings #2 draws you in with its haunting watercolor atmosphere — a young woman clinging to a dark tree trunk, her back turned as she gazes toward a pale, brooding lake beyond the treeline. The loose, expressive linework and muted blues and grays give the scene a feeling of quiet tension, perfectly suited to Matt Kindt and Jenkins's collaboration. If this second issue carries the same melancholy mood as its cover, BOOM! Studios has something genuinely affecting on their hands.
