Rumble #9

Rumble #9 from Image delivers one of the series' most striking cover images: a massive, masked warrior stands atop a towering mound of grotesque severed monster heads, bloodied sword in hand, silhouetted against a smoldering yellow-green sky. The sheer variety of creatures piled beneath him — each with wild, glazed eyes and gnashing teeth — speaks to the book's gleeful embrace of dark fantasy horror. John Arcudi, James Harren, and Dave Stewart were firing on all cylinders in 2015, and this cover alone makes a compelling case for what sets Rumble apart.
