Nightworld #3

Paolo Leandri's vivid cover for Nightworld #3 plunges us straight into supernatural chaos, with a blue-skinned hero at the center of the action, bound or empowered by crackling chains of orange flame, while a red-haired sorceress conjures fire at his side and a writhing mass of purple demons closes in around them — all set against an eerie crimson sky and a foreboding dark castle. The story title "One Hundred Demons" promises exactly the kind of relentless occult action this striking 2014 Image series has been building toward. Dominic Regan's bold color palette makes the whole scene pop with an energy that feels equal parts heavy-metal album cover and classic monster-movie fun.
