Locke & Key: Omega #5

The penultimate chapter of Locke & Key: Omega arrives with a cover that's as stark and unsettling as the series itself — a hand thrusting a pistol toward the viewer against a backdrop of storm-battered sea cliffs under a cold, starless night sky, the crashing waves below suggesting nowhere left to run. Gabriel Rodriguez renders the rocky coastal landscape with meticulous, almost etched detail, making the isolation feel total and the threat feel immediate. With Joe Hill and Rodriguez bringing "The Fall" to its threshold, this fifth issue carries all the weight its title promises.
