Mercy #2

Mirka Andolfo's gothic series continues with this striking second issue, its cover presenting a pale, elegantly dressed woman in a sweeping black gown and wide-brimmed hat striding through a darkened, bat-haunted forest. At her feet, a smaller serpentine or spectral figure writhes in vivid pink and red, a sharp contrast to the cool blue-green shadows surrounding them. It's a beautifully composed image that captures the series' signature blend of dark fairy-tale atmosphere and stylish unease.
