Stray Dogs #2

The second chapter of Image's unsettling 2021 horror series finds a frightened pug cowering beneath a piece of furniture, staring wide-eyed at a blood-soaked hand reaching toward it — a deceptively simple image that lands with real dread. Trish Forstner's cover art balances the pug's almost unbearably sad expression against the creeping red horror pooling in the foreground, making the contrast between cute and sinister feel genuinely affecting. If "Chapter 2: Stay" delivers on what this cover promises, Tony Fleecs and Forstner are building something darkly memorable.
