Tear Us Apart #3

Dark Horse's Tear Us Apart #3 delivers another gut-punch of teen heartbreak and atmosphere, with Alessandro Micelli's cover depicting two young figures — a boy and a girl sharing earbuds — clinging to each other while submerged in a rising tide of deep crimson. The image balances tenderness and dread beautifully, the shared music between them feeling like the last thread holding something fragile together. Jay Baruchel and Van Jensen's series continues to carve out its own emotionally charged space in 2023 comics.
