I Hate This Place #2

Two women stand stranded atop a dark, isolated building while a sea of glowing, grasping hands surges up from below — it's a vivid snapshot of dread that immediately signals this series has no intention of going easy on its characters. Kyle Starks, Artyom Topilin, and Lee Loughridge bring a sharp, unsettling energy to this Image series, with Topilin's cover art and Loughridge's eerie green palette making the danger feel both otherworldly and viscerally immediate. If issue one left you curious, this 2022 follow-up makes a compelling case that things are only getting worse for these two.
