Proctor Valley Road #3

Grant Morrison and Alex Child's supernatural teen horror series delivers a genuinely unsettling third issue, with a cover by Naomi Franquiz that captures the dread perfectly: a massive, glowing-eyed horned beast looms out of the desert night, tendrils writhing around it, while a police cruiser speeds across the foreground trailing billowing red smoke — its occupants clearly desperate to escape whatever darkness Proctor Valley Road has unleashed. Franquiz's nighttime palette of deep blues and fiery reds gives the scene a cinematic tension that makes this BOOM! Studios series one of 2021's most atmospheric horror offerings.
