Phantom Road #10

Jeff Lemire's highway-supernatural series reaches its tenth chapter with a cover that feels quietly devastating — Gabriel H. Walta renders a man and a young girl standing back-to-back against a sickly yellow-green void, their heads tilted wearily toward each other, a small dark puddle at their feet hinting at something ominous beneath the stillness. The sparse composition says more through body language than most covers manage with action and chaos. With Jordie Bellaire's unsettling color wash setting the mood, "Billy Bear One" promises the kind of intimate, eerie tension that has made Phantom Road one of Image's most quietly compelling ongoing series.
