Sons of the Devil #11

Brian Buccellato and Toni Infante's cult thriller reaches its eleventh chapter with a cover that perfectly captures the series' brooding intensity — a lone man, cross tattoo visible on his wrist, raises an arm defensively against a swirling backdrop of crimson and teal, his expression caught somewhere between anguish and defiance. Infante's artwork does triple duty here as penciler, inker, and colorist, and the result is a richly textured image where the organic, feather-like patterns radiating behind the figure give the whole composition an unsettling, almost ritualistic quality. If you've been following this dark journey from Image Comics, issue eleven looks set to keep the tension wound tight.
