Little Monsters #2

Dustin Nguyen's haunting watercolor cover for Little Monsters #2 sets an unsettling tone immediately — a small child in a coat and cap stands in a snow-dusted forest, gripping a bloodied axe, while an enormous dark silhouette looms behind them against pale, skeletal trees. The contrast between the tiny figure's eerie stillness and the towering, featureless presence overhead makes for quietly chilling imagery. Jeff Lemire and Nguyen's Image series continues to look like one of 2022's most atmospherically striking collaborations.
