Spread #1

From writer Justin Jordan and artist Kyle Strahm, this 2014 Image series announces itself with a cover that immediately sets the tone: a blood-splattered, battle-worn man cradles a strange infant — pale, wide-eyed, and distinctly otherworldly — against a backdrop of creeping, tendril-like forms rendered in chilling blue-grey by colorist Felipe Sobreiro. The contrast between the hardened survivor and the unsettling child he protects gives the image a quietly haunting tension. It's a striking opening statement for what promises to be a grim, post-apocalyptic horror series.
