The Exterminators #3

Vertigo's The Exterminators keeps its gleefully unsettling momentum going with issue #3, part of the "Bug Brothers" arc by Simon Oliver and Tony Moore. Philip Bond's cover says it all: a grinning boy shoveling a spoonful of something distinctly non-cereal into his mouth, cockroaches crawling freely across the breakfast table around a bowl of "Loco Loops," while a cheerful woman looks on from the background — blissfully unaware or simply unbothered. It's the kind of image that makes your skin crawl and your jaw drop in equal measure, perfectly capturing the series' knack for finding real horror in the mundane domestic setting.
