Nailbiter #21

Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's Image horror series reaches issue #21 with the striking opener of its "Bound by Blood" chapter arc. The cover zeroes in on two figures in close profile — a purple-haired woman and a dark-haired man — mouths meeting over a bloodsoaked, dripping hand in a deeply unsettling image that captures everything this series does best. If you've been following Nailbiter's twisted mythology, this 2016 installment promises the kind of visceral, unnerving storytelling the book has made its trademark.
