Mercy Thompson #3

Patricia Briggs' beloved urban-fantasy heroine takes center stage in this third issue of Dynamite's Hopcross Jilly arc, with cover art by Tom Garcia placing Mercy and a large wolf companion on a moonlit cliff's edge while glowing skeletal apparitions drift ominously before an old house under a star-filled sky. The tension between Mercy's guarded, determined stance and those ethereal figures gives the image a genuinely unsettling atmosphere that pulls you right in. With Patricia Briggs and Rik Hoskin scripting and Tom Garcia handling both pencils and inks, this 2014 series brings the supernatural world of the Tri-Cities to vivid, eerie life.
