Motherlands #5

Vertigo's dimension-hopping series Motherlands reaches its fifth issue with a cover that commands attention — a massive, armor-plated creature bearing two snarling wolf heads lunges forward, ember-like sparks drifting around its glowing red and amber eyes, with one enormous clawed hand reaching straight toward the viewer. Eric Canete's cover art gives the beast a genuinely unsettling presence, blending organic savagery with the suggestion of something engineered and dangerous. With Si Spurrier writing and Rachael Stott and Felipe Sobreiro bringing the interior to life, this is the kind of boundary-pushing sci-fi horror that made Vertigo a destination for readers who wanted something with real teeth.
