Redneck #4

Redneck #4 from Skybound/Image delivers one of the more arresting covers of 2017 — a young girl with unsettling glowing blue eyes sits cross-legged on a road, staring out at the reader while a lone figure stands between her and a sky full of chaos. Above them, three monstrous riders on horseback charge through walls of fire, armed and snarling, with the whole scene split between a burning red hellscape above and a cool, eerie blue below. Lisandro Estherren's art and Dee Cunniffe's striking color work make that contrast feel genuinely ominous, suggesting a story where the most dangerous things don't always announce themselves loudest.
