“Mother Drum”

Joe Kubert's cover for this opening chapter of DC's six-issue miniseries is a striking, unsettling tableau: Ragman looms large at the top, his patchwork cloak spreading like dark wings over a chaotic press of distorted, anguished figures — and at the center of it all, a glowing infant surrounded by grasping, ghoulish hands. Writer Elaine Lee and artist Gabriel Morrissette launch "Mother Drum" with a premise that feels both eerie and deeply human, promising a Ragman story with genuine darkness at its heart. If you've ever wanted to see DC's rag-suited mystic pushed into genuinely haunting territory, this first issue sets that mood immediately.
