Southern Cross #13

The cover of Southern Cross #13 tells you everything you need to know about the series' unsettling atmosphere: a pale, expressionless face stares out from the darkness, eyes burning a deep, otherworldly red while dark, viscous tendrils creep in from every edge of the frame. Becky Cloonan's cover art is deeply atmospheric, using stark contrast and Lee Loughridge's moody color work to make that crimson gaze feel genuinely unnerving. If this sci-fi horror series from Image has been on your radar, this thirteenth chapter looks like exactly the kind of dread-soaked entry point that will keep you hooked.
