Snake Woman #1
"A Snake in the Grass" introduces Jessica Peterson, a quiet Midwestern woman adjusting to life in Los Angeles as a waitress in a dimly lit dive bar. When a drunken patron attempts to assault her, Jessica’s response is sudden and unexpected—she fights back with startling ferocity, leaving him dead, and is left grappling with a confusing mix of fear and something darker, more primal. Written by Zeb Wells and brought to life with moody precision by Michael Gaydos on art and inks, this issue blends psychological tension with a creeping sense of transformation, all wrapped in a cover by Mukesh Singh and Suresh Seetharaman that captures the story’s uneasy atmosphere.
