Ig Guara's cover for Rose #11 sets a breathtaking, high-stakes tone — a pale, wide-eyed young woman faces an enormous, snarling beast whose open jaws loom directly over her, a single glowing light piercing the creature's dark mass like a cold star.

Meredith Finch's fantasy series is firing on all cylinders in 2018, and this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case to keep reading.
