Witchblood #2 Lisa Sterle and Matthew Erman ✅ Tarot card cover ✅ Shout outs to letterer Jim Campbell and colorer Gab Contreras too. Great stuff all around. I love the suggestion to play a song. And Lisa Sterle's art always leaves me feeling impressed.

Lisa Sterle's Tarot Cover for Witchblood #2 (Vault), featuring the lead vampiric villain on a throne with blood pouring down from above neatly in his hand and his foot on a skull.

• Writer: Matthew Erman
• Artist & Cover A: Lisa Sterle
• Colorist: Gab Contreras
• Letterer: Jim Campbell

Panel suggesting the reader play the song Chattahoochee before turning the page.

Lisa Sterle's mesmerizing work. You can see the silhouette of a woman with glowing eyes and wavy hair. In the same ink color and connected to her body are flowers, mushrooms, and other natural-looking shapes. There is watercolor green surrounding the figure with purple around the edges of the panel. The image is somehow graceful and beautiful while also feeling creepy and decaying.

I don't know what I thought Terminal Punks was going to be about but @matthewerman.bsky.social wrote a wonderfully unhinged story about the power of friendship. There's a lot to enjoy with @shelbycriswell.bsky.social art, dynamic motion, brutal action and just a ton of style to make it all meld.

Terminal Punks TPB. Four main characters are split on a four person grid, have their faces covered in pink paint almost skin to ski masks

I don't talk about this book enough. But #LovingOhio is a beautiful MASTERPIECE of teen angst, those drifting emotions, and the cults children are FORCED into. Rereading at work. @matthewerman.bsky.social @sambeckdraws.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

Was suuuuper excited for @sambeckdraws.bsky.social . I knew I'd need a copy of the third book of "The Verse" (and signed book plates for volume 1 and 2!), and there was no way I could resist "Loving, Ohio". (Look at that cover!) I wasn't, however, expecting to fall in love with these prints! 😍 11/

A copy of the book "Loving, Ohio" by Matthew Erman and Sam Beck. The cover is a beautiful and spooky image of two people, one tangible and the other smoke like and surreal.

The book "The Verse" by Sam Beck. The cover features two magical, fantasy characters.

This is one of the earliest series Sierra Hahn and I started working on at @oni-press.bsky.social back in early 2023. All credit to the Ben H. Winters for delivering one of the most extraordinary pitches I’ve ever read. If you dig what Ben and Leomacs have done in CRUEL UNIVERSE, do not miss this!
