Orphan and the Five Beasts: Bath of Blood #3

James Stokoe's densely illustrated cover for this third installment pulls no punches — a towering pregnant woman with blank white eyes dominates the composition, flanked by a snarling, many-limbed beast and a grotesque tentacled creature, while a battle-worn warrior crouches in the churning foreground amid a mob of monstrous figures. The sheer density of Stokoe's linework makes every inch of the image feel alive with menace and strange energy. Orphan and the Five Beasts: Bath of Blood continues to be one of Dark Horse's most visually distinctive offerings of 2025.
