They're Not Like Us #13

Issue #13 of Eric Stephenson and Simon Gane's Image series arrives in 2017 with a cover that is quietly unsettling: a young woman's eyes are bound by a torn, dirty strip of cloth, her long hair splaying around her, while a speech bubble delivers the chilling declaration "We're all going to die." Jordie Bellaire's muted color palette — pale blues and warm skin tones against a stark white title block — gives the image a haunting restraint that suits the "Lost Voices" chapter perfectly. If you've been following this series about people who aren't quite like the rest of us, this installment looks like exactly the kind of tense, atmospheric chapter that keeps readers turning pages.
