Napalm Lullaby #5

Bengal's cover for this fifth issue of Rick Remender's Napalm Lullaby delivers a queasy, vertiginous perspective — two figures tumbling helplessly through open air far below a massive, pipe-laden mechanical construct whose glowing X-marked eye stares downward with cold indifference. The scale contrast between that looming machine and the tiny falling bodies makes the image quietly unsettling in the best way. If you've been following this Image series through 2024, issue five looks to keep the tension wound tight.
