Nailbiter #15

Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's Nailbiter continues its tense, small-town horror with this 2015 issue from Image Comics. The cover puts a pale, light-haired figure in a brown jacket at the center — clutching a cleaver — while a darkly clad, shadowy assailant looms behind a concrete pillar with weapon raised, setting up a genuinely unsettling cat-and-mouse dynamic. At $2.99, this is the kind of cover composition that makes you hold your breath before you've even opened the first page.
