Hexed #1

The opening chapter of Hexed arrives from Boom! Studios in 2008, inviting readers into a world where the supernatural bleeds vividly into the urban. Emma Ríos's cover sets an immediate mood: a young dark-haired woman crouches low to the ground, composed but clearly at the center of something untamed, as swirling torrents of deep pink energy and fiery bird-like forms erupt around her against a cool blue cityscape backdrop. Compared by Comic Book Resources to "Hellblazer by way of JJ Abrams' Alias," this first issue of four promises a sharp, stylish blend of occult tension and grounded attitude.
