That Texas Blood #10

A sun-drenched suburban front yard sets the scene for That Texas Blood #10, where two kids — a girl in a blue dress and a boy in a yellow shirt and red shorts with a cowboy hat — are pointing at a mustachioed man relaxing in a lawn chair with a can of soda, a baseball resting in the grass nearby. The "Eversaul, 1981 – Part Four" story arc promises the kind of slow-burn, small-town tension that writer Chris Condon and artist Jacob Phillips have made this series' calling card. Phillips's warm, painterly cover perfectly captures that deceptive ease of a Texas afternoon where something just below the surface feels like it's about to shift.
