Hoax Hunters #3

Hoax Hunters #3 delivers one of the more unsettling covers of 2012, with Moreci, Seeley, and Medellin presenting a seething mass of wild and wounded animals — a roaring bear with antlers, a raccoon, an owl, a deer with glowing eyes, a snake, and several others tangled together in a frenzy of teeth and blood. The palette of pale purples and pinks gives the whole chaotic scene an eerie, almost otherworldly quality that feels perfectly at home in a series built around the strange and unexplained. If you enjoy horror-tinged genre storytelling published under Image's banner, this issue's cover alone makes a strong case for picking it up.
