Black Kiss #5

"Black Kiss Book Five" delivers another twist in Howard Chaykin’s dark, atmospheric tale, with Pollack chasing a cryptic lead through the city’s underbelly. After Father Murtaugh’s death, Laine and Grove—two men who look nearly identical—guide Pollack to an occult bookshop called "The Oath of Incannabulata," where he steals a mysterious volume on the enigmatic Order of Bonniface. Chaykin’s stark, noir-inspired art, enhanced by Ella Vine’s intricate details and Ken Bruzenak’s sharp lettering, brings the story’s creeping dread to life, while the cover by Chaykin himself sets the tone with its brooding, shadowed intensity.
