Throwaways #7

The cover of this 2017 Image Comics issue is quietly unsettling in the best way — a pale young woman in a plain dress stands holding two knives, her expression eerily calm against a stark white background, with a dramatic blood-splatter halo framing the title above her. The minimalist design makes that contrast between her composed demeanor and the blades in her hands all the more striking. Kittredge, Sanders, and Wands bring a chilling, understated tension to Throwaways #7 that draws you in before you've even opened the cover.
