Jezebelle #4

The fourth chapter of "A Small Corner of Hell" arrives with a cover by Steve Ellis and Mark Irwin that pulls no punches — Jezebelle crouches in wide-eyed alarm, blue mystical energy crackling at her hands, while a massive armored skeletal creature looms over her with a wicked multi-bladed weapon, and a brooding bearded face watches from the shadows above. With its swirling supernatural fire, a scattered skull, and Ben Raab's darkly playful story title ("Seance & Sensibility"), this WildStorm miniseries is shaping up to be one of 2001's more entertaining blends of occult action and attitude. If you've been following Jezebelle's descent, issue four looks like a chapter where the stakes have gotten considerably more dire.
