Mind the Gap #7

The cover of Mind the Gap #7 says everything with haunting elegance: a teal-haired woman faces away from us, a literal anatomical heart pressed against her back by a man's hand, while she holds a second heart in her outstretched hand — all as the two figures lean into what might be a kiss, his white shirt soaked with blood. Rodin Esquejo's painted linework gives this image a deeply unsettling romantic tension that fits the story title, "Wish You Were Here part 2: Clouded Eyes, Broken Hearts," perfectly. Jim McCann and Esquejo's 2013 Image series continues to blend psychological mystery with raw emotional stakes in a way that keeps readers genuinely off-balance.
