The Wild Storm #15

Jon Davis-Hunt's cover for The Wild Storm #15 is genuinely unsettling in the best way — a close-up of a figure named Slayton, his face wrapped in thick crimson tendrils while a small, snarling red creature erupts from his open mouth. The design language of cascading "BREACH" warnings and system-error readouts framing the image gives the whole thing a cold, bureaucratic dread that feels entirely unique to Warren Ellis's reconceived WildStorm universe. Fifteen issues in, this series continues to deliver covers that are as thoughtfully constructed as they are viscerally striking.
