Hellboy: The Wild Hunt #5

The fifth chapter of The Wild Hunt arrives with a cover by Mike Mignola that's as atmospheric as anything in Hellboy's long history — a battered, bleeding Hellboy stands his ground atop a rocky outcropping while a swarm of winged, glowing-eyed creatures descends from a roiling black sky above him. The composition, with its stark contrast between Hellboy's vivid red form and the shadowy horde, captures the impossible odds he so frequently faces with quiet, grim defiance. Duncan Fegredo brings his considerable talents to the interior as this eight-part series from Dark Horse continues building toward what promises to be a tremendous payoff.
