Mercy #1

Mirka Andolfo launches her self-crafted gothic horror series with a cover that immediately announces its singular vision — a pale, blue-eyed woman in a wide-brimmed hat adorned with roses stands arms crossed, surrounded by twisting crimson tendrils of organic, skull-bearing dark magic coiling through a snow-dusted twilight sky. The image is all cool blues against vivid, unsettling reds, and Andolfo's linework (she handles both pencils and inks here) gives the mysterious figure an air of aristocratic menace barely contained. With Andolfo also writing, drawing, and co-coloring the interior alongside Arancia Studio and Gianluca Papi, Mercy #1 arrives as a genuinely singular creator-driven vision from Image Comics.
