Trees: Three Fates #3

The stark, minimalist cover by Jason Howard says everything without showing everything — a dripping red symbol looms against a dark background scattered with Cyrillic text, while a pale, engraving-style pointing hand reaches in from the shadows as if making an accusation or a demand. It's a deeply unsettling image that captures the quiet dread Warren Ellis brings to this series about humanity living in the shadow of alien indifference. Trees: Three Fates #3 continues one of Image's most atmospheric science-fiction series, and this 2019 issue makes a compelling case for itself before you've even opened the cover.
