Huck: Big Bad World #5

Rafael Albuquerque's cover for this fifth issue sets an ominous tone: a self-satisfied, mustached man in a pale suit reclines in an ornate throne-like chair, raising a wine glass with cool confidence — while an enormous pile of human skulls surrounds him at every side. Mark Millar and Albuquerque's Huck: Big Bad World has consistently explored the darkness lurking beneath the surface of an otherwise earnest superhero story, and this unsettling image suggests the stakes have never been higher heading into the finale. If you've been following Huck's journey through a genuinely dangerous world, issue #5 looks like it's delivering on every ominous promise the series has made.
