The Sacrificers #9

Max Fiumara's cover for The Sacrificers #9 plunges readers into an eerie underwater world, where a heavily armored warrior strides through murky green depths, wielding a massive battle-axe and trailing a spiked flail — strange sea creatures drifting all around in the dim current. The intricate detail in the figure's layered, almost organic-looking armor gives the image a genuinely unsettling grandeur, colored beautifully by Dave McCaig's cool, algae-tinted palette. Rick Remender's Image series continues to deliver a distinct and richly imagined world, and this ninth issue looks every bit as compelling as what's come before.
