I Hate This Place #10

Two figures stand hand-in-hand before a crumbling farmhouse, gazing up at a planet burning against a vast, star-filled sky — it's a quietly haunting image that captures the strange, cosmic dread at the heart of Kyle Starks' series. Artyom Topilin's artwork and Lee Loughridge's color work give the scene a melancholy beauty, balancing intimacy and the unsettling sense that the universe itself is on fire. This tenth issue from Image wraps that blend of rural horror and otherworldly menace in one of the series' most emotionally resonant covers yet.
