Poe #3

The penultimate chapter of BOOM! Studios' four-issue series finds Edgar Allan Poe rendered in moody crimson tones, lantern in gloved hand, while a towering skeletal, hooded figure looms behind him with grasping hands — Death itself seemingly closing in on the celebrated author. It's a genuinely atmospheric cover that captures the Gothic dread Poe's own writing made famous, with the warm lamplight contrasting beautifully against that blood-red backdrop. If you've been following this 2009 miniseries, issue three promises to keep the shadows deepening right up to the finale.
