Outcast by Kirkman & Azaceta #47

A brooding, bearded man dominates this striking cover, his downcast eyes and scarred face rendered in deep earthy tones against a vivid burnt-orange background — Paul Azaceta's cover work giving the image a raw, unsettling intensity. This is the fifth chapter of "The Merged" arc, and that portrait radiates the weight of someone carrying something truly heavy into whatever comes next. Robert Kirkman and Azaceta, with colors by Elizabeth Breitweiser, continue their acclaimed supernatural series with this 2020 entry from Image/Skybound.
