Sullivan's Sluggers #[nn]

A baseball player in a number-9 jersey stands alone on the cover, bat in hand, facing down a towering, writhing mass of grotesque monsters — all gnashing teeth, grasping claws, and fleshy, nightmarish anatomy rendered in vivid, lurid detail. James Stokoe's cover artwork is a genuine showcase of manic, intricate linework that makes the sheer scale of the threat feel both absurd and genuinely unsettling. Mark Andrew Smith and James Stokoe's 2018 Dark Horse release promises a collision of America's pastime with full-throttle creature horror.
