Minor Arcana #4

Jeff Lemire's Minor Arcana reaches its fourth chapter with a cover that radiates quiet dread — a young woman in a trench coat freezes mid-step in a dim hallway, her wide eyes fixed on the looming dark silhouette that dominates the foreground. The interplay between her vulnerability and that anonymous, encroaching shadow gives the image a deeply unsettling charge, rendered in Lemire's distinctive loose linework and muted watercolor washes. With "The Star" as the story's title, this 2024 Boom! Studios release promises another layer of the series' eerie, intimate storytelling.
