The Hood #3

The third chapter of Brian K. Vaughan's gritty MAX Comics miniseries arrives with a striking Kyle Hotz cover that dominates the eye: a figure in a distinctive yellow-and-black diamond-patterned costume crouches in the foreground while a blazing, skull-faced supernatural entity looms behind him, framed by cascading streams of blood-red against a stark white background. The tension between the street-level thief below and the infernal presence above sets a tone that feels genuinely unsettling — crime fiction and dark supernatural horror in uneasy collision. With "Blood from Stones" continuing into its third installment, this 2002 series remains one of the more atmospheric offerings in Marvel's mature-readers line.
