Hex Wives #4

The fourth chapter of Ben Blacker's dark suburban-witch series arrives under a striking Paulina Ganucheau cover depicting a glowing-eyed woman crouched low, pink magical smoke curling around her as blood drips from her outstretched hand — an image that perfectly captures the series' blend of domestic unease and genuine menace. That pull quote from Supernatural's Ruth Connell — calling it "a sick Bewitched on horror steroids" — sets the tone before you've even opened the cover. With interiors by Mirka Andolfo and colors by Marissa Louise, Hex Wives #4 is a mature-readers Vertigo title that delivers exactly the kind of stylish, unsettling storytelling the imprint has always done best.
