'Patra #3

The penultimate chapter of Robinson and Kolins' four-part Dark Horse series delivers a cover that's hard to shake: a skeletal, tattooed figure with wild hair looms triumphantly over a fallen skull-faced form amid the splintered ruins of a barn, all under a cold, star-flecked night sky. Scott Kolins' linework crackles with frenetic energy, the deep reds and blues giving the scene a raw, almost hand-carved intensity. With the cover's own "Look Out!" warning practically leaping off the page, Patra #3 — subtitled "Blasphemy in the Barn!" — promises the kind of weird, visceral horror that makes this mini-series one to watch in 2024.
