“More Pain Comics, Part Two: Devourer of Souls”

The second installment of this eight-part 2007 DC series sets a darkly glamorous tone right on Paul Gulacy's cover, where Doctor Fate's gleaming gold helmet and cape stand against an enormous, shadowy creature with hollow, unsettling eyes — the Devourer of Souls itself looming over a neon casino cityscape. A mysterious blonde woman holds an ace of spades and a pair of skull-emblazoned dice, lending the whole scene a sinister, high-stakes atmosphere. Steve Gerber and Justiniano continue the supernatural drama within, with an Eclipso backup adding even more occult intrigue to this moody, stylish package.
