American Gods #2

Neil Gaiman's celebrated novel comes to comics in this Dark Horse adaptation, with a cover by Glenn Fabry that immediately establishes the story's charged atmosphere — a young man extends a glowing gold coin toward a weathered, intense older figure in a denim jacket and a provocatively worded t-shirt, the two locked in a tense face-to-face encounter. That luminous coin between them practically hums with significance, a perfect visual hook for a story steeped in myth and uneasy transactions. With P. Craig Russell and Scott Hampton bringing the interior to life, issue #2 promises the same unsettling, richly human energy radiating from every inch of Fabry's striking painted cover.
