Five Ghosts #17

A brooding, rain-soaked cover by Chris Mooneyham sets a fittingly somber tone for the finale of the "Monsters & Men" arc — a hooded, crouching figure sits in quiet anguish at the center, while five ghostly silhouettes loom behind him in cool blue hues, their distinct forms suggesting warriors and adventurers from different eras. Lauren Affe's cold color palette reinforces the weight of a story reaching its conclusion, and there's real craft in the way Mooneyham balances the solitary human foreground against those spectral presences. If you've been following Frank J. Barbiere's run, issue #17 looks like a fittingly atmospheric send-off to this chapter of the series.
