Dark Reign: The Underside #[nn]

In "Part One" of Dark Reign: The Underside, a mysterious new figure takes up the mantle of Jack O'Lantern following a chilling act of human sacrifice, drawing the attention of Norman Osborn. Released from custody by Osborn himself in exchange for a future favor, the new Jack O'Lantern steps into a shadowy world where power and blood are currency. Written by Frank Tieri and brought to life by John Paul Leon’s striking interior art, with Dave Stewart’s haunting colors and VC’s crisp lettering, the issue sets a tense, atmospheric tone. The cover, a stark and unsettling vision by Jae Lee, captures the grim weight of the new era.
