Survival #5

Dark Horse's Survival reaches its fifth installment, and this cover from Sean Lewis, Bryndon Everett, and Natalie Barahona pulls no punches — a bloodied, grimacing man in a white shirt fights for his life against monstrous, gray-skinned creatures in what appears to be the tight confines of a vessel or airlock, the carnage streaked across every surface. The raw desperation on the man's face as he grapples with his attackers captures exactly the kind of visceral, no-way-out tension this series has been building toward. If you've been following this 2023 Dark Horse thriller, issue #5 looks like the moment things get truly brutal.
