Daomu #5

Image's Daomu reaches its fifth issue with a cover that's genuinely unsettling — a half-decayed, half-armored face emerges from the darkness, flanked by massive grasping claws that seem to tear through the shadows themselves. The duality on display, ancient warrior's gold armor fused with grotesque, corrupted flesh, hints at a series that blends Chinese mythology with visceral horror in ways few 2011 comics dared to attempt. If you've been following this series, this cover alone makes clear the stakes have never felt more menacing.
