Raise the Dead 2 #3

Dynamite's Raise the Dead 2 #3 delivers a striking cover from Lucio Parrillo, depicting a blonde woman in a green bikini on a sun-bleached beach, seemingly unaware — or barely aware — of the grotesque, gore-drenched zombie clawing its way toward her from the ground below. The tension between the figure's composed posture and the decaying horror reaching up behind her gives the image a genuinely unsettling edge. If this 2011 series has been on your radar, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
