Nailbiter #7

From the blood-streaked, wood-grained logo to the eerie green-lit forest backdrop, Nailbiter #7 sets an unsettling mood that Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson sustain with real craft. The cover, illustrated by Henderson, places a badge-wearing figure looming over a bloodied hand on the ground while a pale, unsettling character lurks in the shadows behind — a tableau that quietly radiates dread without needing to shout. The big draw here is the "guest-starring Brian Michael Bendis" announcement front and center, promising something a little out of the ordinary for this small-town serial-killer thriller.
