The October Faction #9

Steve Niles and Damien Worm's supernatural family drama reaches its ninth chapter with a cover that perfectly captures the series' brooding atmosphere. Damien Worm's art places a pale, blonde woman in a deep red coat at center stage, holding a dark, wing-shaped object while swirling crimson flames and shadowy demonic forms churn around her — the mood is equal parts mournful and menacing. If you've been following this IDW series through 2015, this haunting image makes a compelling case to stay on board.
