The Goddamned #3

The third chapter of Jason Aaron, R. M. Guéra, and Giulia Brusco's brutal pre-biblical saga finds its white-haired, fur-clad protagonist gripping a bone-handled axe in the foreground, his back turned to a snarling horde of savage, mask-wearing warriors surging toward him through an eerie, mist-soaked landscape. Guéra's cover art is raw and painterly, conveying both the vastness of this ancient, godless world and the overwhelming odds stacked against one stubborn survivor. "The Children of Eden" promises exactly the kind of primal, unrelenting tension that has made The Goddamned one of Image's most distinctive 2016 offerings.
