Dean Koontz's Nevermore #5

The penultimate issue of Dynamite's adaptation of Dean Koontz's Nevermore closes in with terrifying intensity — Tyler Walpole's painted cover depicts a lone man falling backward, overwhelmed by a swarm of razor-clawed, fang-mouthed creatures descending on him from every direction. Walpole's atmospheric color work bathes the chaos in fiery amber and shadow, making the nightmare feel viscerally close. If this is where the series has arrived by issue five, the finale promises to be something genuinely unsettling.
