Hex Wives #2

The cover of this DC Vertigo mature-readers series captures something deeply unsettling: a woman in 1950s-era dress sits at a vanity, staring into an ornate mirror — but her reflection stares back as a fierce, otherworldly witch surrounded by a swarm of rats, an image that speaks volumes about hidden power simmering beneath a domestic façade. Emanuela Lupacchino's linework makes the contrast between the two versions of this woman feel genuinely charged, all warm yellows against a vivid pink-tinged reflection. With Ben Blacker writing and Mirka Andolfo on art, Hex Wives #2 — subtitled "Sounds Ominous" — promises exactly that kind of deliciously uneasy tension between the world as it appears and the magic lurking underneath.
