Ex Sanguine #[nn]

This Dark Horse collection pulls together the full Ex Sanguine series in one blood-soaked package, and the cover sets the mood perfectly: a sharp-suited man stands center stage, flanked by a sharp-eyed redhead in green glasses and the looming, fang-bared maw of something decidedly inhuman lurking in the shadows behind them. Tim Seeley and Joshua Scott Emmons craft a world where cool composure and supernatural menace share the same frame, and that tension crackles right off this striking, crimson-drenched image. At $17.99, it's a confident entry point into a story that clearly isn't afraid to mix style with something a little monstrous.
