Harrow County #12

Cullen Bunn and Hannah Christenson's acclaimed Southern Gothic series reaches its twelfth chapter with a cover that earns every word of io9's "one of 2015's best horror comics" praise. Tyler Crook's cover art delivers a quietly devastating image: a pair of worn boots standing over the edge of a surface, with what appears to be a crumpled, stitched figure — something between a doll and a body — lying broken beneath them, vivid red blood dripping down in stark contrast to the sickly green palette. It's the kind of unsettling stillness that Harrow County does so well, letting dread do the heavy lifting without a single monster in sight.
