Sorrow #3

The tagline "Not all that is buried is dead" sets an ominous tone for this third chapter of the four-issue Image series from Rick Remender and Seth Peck. Kieron Dwyer's cover pairs a determined, gun-wielding woman — her wrists bound — against the looming, crimson specter of a massive monstrous face that dominates the background, creating a striking tension between human defiance and supernatural dread. With Francesco Francavilla handling interior art, Sorrow in 2007 delivered a genuinely unsettling blend of pulp action and horror that rewards readers who like their thrills with a dark undercurrent.
