Infidel #5

Pornsak Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell's haunting horror series reaches its fifth chapter with a cover that pulls no punches: a woman's face fills the foreground in unsettling close-up, while a gaunt, blue-grey supernatural entity crouches predatorily above her, and a curly-haired figure watches from a staircase above — all of it surrounded by drifting, decayed feathers that give the whole scene an eerie, dreamlike weight. José Villarrubia's muted, sepia-tinged palette lends the image a suffocating, atmospheric dread that feels perfectly suited to this Image series' exploration of fear and prejudice. If you've been following this story, issue five promises the kind of unsettling imagery that makes Infidel one of 2018's most visually arresting horror reads.
