Sacred Six #3

Three women — Pantha, Draculina, and Chastity, as named across the masthead — stand on a red-and-white checkered surface like living chess pieces, while an enormous hand looms in from the left, fingers curled as if about to move them at will. It's a striking visual metaphor: these powerful figures may be players, or they may be the pieces. Writer Christopher Priest and artists Jae Lee and Julius Ohta continue their "Have Fangs — Will Travel" saga with this third chapter of "Numerology," and the cover alone promises that someone — or something — is pulling strings behind the scenes.
