House of Slaughter #19

Two red-haired figures peer around the pale trunks of birch trees in a darkened forest — one smirking with unsettling confidence, the other bearing fresh scratches across her face and a more guarded, wounded expression — and the tension between them practically radiates off the page. Javier Rodríguez's cover art uses the stark vertical lines of the trees to divide and frame the pair, creating a mood that is equal parts eerie and intimate. "Alabaster Part Four" lands in issue #19, with Sam Johns writing and Letizia Cadonici on art, promising another chapter of the psychological dread that makes House of Slaughter such a compelling corner of the BOOM! Studios lineup.
