Nailbiter #26

Few holiday covers deliver this kind of unsettling charm — a figure in a Santa hat crouches on a snow-covered rooftop, finger pressed to lips in a quiet "shh," while a heavy sack drips blood down the shingles below. The snowy pine forests and warmly lit windows of the neighborhood make the scene almost cozy, until that crimson trail reminds you exactly what series you're reading. Williamson, Henderson, Guzowski, Hill, and Levin bring their signature blend of small-town dread to this 2016 Image Comics issue, wrapping it in a seasonal package you won't soon forget.
