Outer Darkness #10

John Layman and Afu Chan's sci-fi horror series continues with this striking tenth issue from Image/Skybound. The cover — rendered in a vivid clash of hot pink and deep blue — centers on a strained, wide-eyed man whose cracked face dominates the composition, while four smaller figures peer out from surrounding tangles of dark, flowering vines: a gruff bearded man, a sharp-featured pale figure, a young woman with a braid, and a blue-hued woman above. It's an unsettling, beautifully composed image that captures the series' knack for blending the cosmic with the deeply personal.
