Strange Eggs #1
In "Strange Eggs," writer Christopher P. Reilly and artist Jorge Santillan launch a bizarre, offbeat tale where a simple errand delivering an egg spirals into something far stranger. When the egg hatches into a creature that attacks Hooper, the ensuing chaos leads to a series of increasingly surreal and violent encounters, all culminating in a quiet, unsettling moment beneath a hollow tree. The story unfolds with a deadpan, eerie rhythm, its unsettling tone heightened by Santillan’s distinctive art and lettering, while the cover by Jorge Santillan captures the issue’s unsettling charm.
