The Unbelievable Unteens #2

Set in the rich world of Black Hammer, this second issue from Jeff Lemire and Tyler Crook draws you in with a moody, atmospheric cover that feels like a secret waiting to be uncovered. A beam of light cuts through a dim, cluttered room, illuminating scattered comic book pages on the floor — pages that appear to depict a team of young heroes — while a large, monstrous hand looms ominously in the shadows above. Crook's painterly cover work gives the whole scene a wonderfully unsettling tension, perfectly balancing nostalgia and dread.
