The Witcher: Corvo Bianco #4

The penultimate chapter of The Witcher: Corvo Bianco arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — Geralt, shirtless and bound in heavy chains, wraps a protective arm around a red-haired woman who is similarly restrained, while a looming werewolf-like creature with glowing yellow eyes towers over them both from the shadows. Corrado Mastantuono's artwork bathes the scene in a tense crimson palette, making the interlocking chains and the monster's clawed hands feel genuinely oppressive. With one issue left in this five-part Dark Horse series, the stakes on display here are hard to ignore.
