American Gods: The Moment of the Storm #1

The final arc of Dark Horse's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods arrives with this opening issue, its Glenn Fabry cover setting an appropriately ominous tone. A bare-chested man looms large against a tangle of skeletal branches, while three intense figures — a frightened woman, a fiercely defiant dark-haired woman with clawed hands raised, and a weathered elder — crowd the foreground, framed by two enormous bare feet that suggest something ancient and unsettling at work. P. Craig Russell and Scott Hampton bring the same craft that carried readers through the earlier volumes, promising a tense, mythologically charged conclusion to one of comics' most ambitious literary adaptations.
