Kill Shakespeare: The Tide of Blood #2

The cover of this IDW series is a striking visual split: above the waterline, a massive cloaked, masked figure looms atop a jagged rocky island surrounded by bare, twisted trees and billowing dark smoke; below, the underwater reflection reveals a giant skeletal hand clutching a mass of tormented faces and figures, mirroring the menace lurking beneath the surface. It's a beautifully unsettling composition from McCreery, Del Col, and Belanger that captures the series' signature blend of literary darkness and visceral imagination. If you've been following this Shakespearean remix, The Tide of Blood arc is shaping up to be the team's most atmospheric chapter yet.
