The Demon: Hell Is Earth #1

The opening chapter of this six-issue DC miniseries announces itself boldly — a wall of hellfire fills the cover as Etrigan the Demon and his human host Jason Blood are rendered in dramatic split composition, their two natures coiled together against a churning inferno. Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy's cover work is viscerally expressive, capturing the tension between demon and man with striking detail, from Etrigan's clawed, flame-wreathed form to Blood's grimly resolute face looming above. Andrew Constant's "Hell Is Earth" promises exactly the kind of supernatural friction the cover advertises, and issue #1 is a compelling place to dive in.
