Fall of Cthulhu #5

BOOM! Studios' Lovecraftian series reaches its fifth chapter with a genuinely unsettling image: a bearded, dark-eyed figure floats in a swirling, skull-flecked void, arms outstretched as crackling red energy surges from his hands while he reads from an open tome. The murky green atmosphere pressing in around him — along with what appears to be a tentacle curling at his side — perfectly captures the series' tone of forbidden knowledge tipping toward catastrophe. If cosmic horror grounded in Mythos dread is your thing, this 2007 issue delivers that mood right from the cover.
