Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens #4

The penultimate chapter of this five-part Dark Horse series arrives with a haunting cover by Abigail Larson: a pale-haired woman in a flowing white dress stands commanding at center, a dark antlered crown rising above her head and a swarm of black ravens wheeling through the grey air around her. Writers Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, with interior art by Bridgit Connell and colors by Michelle Madsen, bring their gothic world right to the edge of its conclusion. If the series has been building dread and dark atmosphere, this image suggests the stakes — and the sorcery — are reaching their peak.
