The Red Mother #12

The final issue of The Red Mother from BOOM! Studios arrives wrapped entirely in a deep, blood-red atmosphere, with Jeremy Haun's cover depicting two women in an intimate, tension-filled embrace — one in a structured corset dress, the other in a jacket — their faces nearly touching in a moment that feels equal parts tender and unsettling. Haun, who both writes and illustrates the cover, brings a painterly intensity to the image, that crimson monochrome lending the scene an air of dread even within its closeness. A fitting capstone to what has been a genuinely compelling horror series from BOOM! Studios.
