Stoneheart #3

Emma Kubert's Stoneheart hits its third chapter with a cover that puts the stakes front and center: a red-haired girl clutches a blade as she faces down a massive, shadowy creature lurking in a darkened doorway, a glowing red gem burning like an ember above them both. Ghostly profile portraits of two figures flank the composition, giving the whole image a dreamlike, almost ritualistic weight. It's the kind of cover that makes you want to turn the page immediately.
