American Gods #5

Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell's adaptation of American Gods hits its fifth chapter with a cover by Glenn Fabry that practically crackles with carnivalesque menace — a grinning, snake-draped figure in a green suit rides atop a snarling lion amid a chaos of carousel horses, a wide-eyed Victorian girl, ghostly creatures, and a caged demon swinging overhead. Scott Hampton's interior colors complement the painted energy Fabry brings to this wild, otherworldly midway scene. If you've been following Shadow's strange journey through Gaiman's mythic America, this 2017 Dark Horse issue delivers yet another beautifully unsettling stop along the way.
