Self Help #3

The cover of this Image Comics series says everything without saying a word: a dark-haired woman, her jeans and sneakers splattered with blood, clutches a small blonde girl by the hand as they walk away from a blood-soaked floor strewn with scattered books. The contrast between the child's innocent backpack and purple bow and the chaos they're clearly fleeing gives this third issue a tense, quietly devastating energy. Self Help is shaping up to be one of 2024's more gripping thriller series, and this cover makes a compelling case to keep reading.
