Crone #2

Dark Horse's Crone #2 brings a striking cover composition: a massive, looming stone-grey face dominates the foreground, while above it a red-haired warrior woman in battle armor grips a sword and clasps hands with a dark-haired companion cloaked in purple, both lit by a warm amber glow against a wintry, snow-flecked sky. The contrast between the cold monolithic figure below and the intimate, charged moment between the two women above gives this 2019 issue a mood that's both epic and surprisingly personal. As a bonus, the issue also features a Romero Muerte story by Culver and Villalobos, making it a genuinely solid double-feature package.
