Strange Girl #16

Peter Bergting's cover for Strange Girl #16 places the series' protagonist high atop a crumbling gothic tower, launching a burst of glowing green energy at a horned demon while riding — or wrestling — a snarling creature below her, with a vast horde of monsters surging through a ruined cityscape under a smoldering orange sky. It's a genuinely striking image that captures the series' blend of supernatural action and post-apocalyptic dread in one breathless composition. Rick Remender and Bergting's 2007 Image run continues to deliver exactly the kind of darkly imaginative storytelling this cover promises.
