Outer Darkness #1

From writer John Layman and artist Afu Chan, this Image/Skybound series launches with a cover that immediately sets its tone: a diverse crew of spacefaring characters surges toward the viewer, led by a determined, broad-shouldered figure at the fore, while an enormous, fang-filled cosmic entity looms behind them in the darkness — its monstrous maw practically swallowing the starfield whole. The composition masterfully blends sci-fi crew dynamics with genuine supernatural dread, promising a series that lives somewhere between deep-space adventure and outright horror. If you've been waiting for a space opera with real teeth, Outer Darkness #1 makes a compelling case right from its opening image.
