Crimson #7

A snowy, atmospheric collision of dark wings and desperate figures makes this December 1998 issue of Crimson feel genuinely cinematic. The cover by penciler Humberto Ramos and inker Sandra Hope fills the image with a group of winged figures in dark coats surrounding a crouched black-clad protagonist, while snowflakes swirl through a tense, wintry standoff. With "Hark" as the story title and the Cliffhanger! banner up top, this seventh issue from Augustyn and Ramos has a moody seasonal edge that pulls you right in.
