Hollow

Welcome to Part 3 in my "all comics should have art this good" ongoing series. (Heh heh, like I have any structure on this blog.)  This time it’s not any one person, but the whole creative team for Hollow.  Hollow comes out in October, but don’t forget about it, okay?  To steal a Gail [...]
