Midnight Nation #6

J. Michael Straczynski's Midnight Nation reaches its sixth installment with a cover that puts the intensity front and center — a bloodied, bare-chested man strains against a mob of snarling, green-skinned creatures closing in from every direction, claws outstretched and fangs bared. Gary Frank's pencils and Jonathan Sibal's inks give the scene a raw, visceral energy that makes the odds feel genuinely overwhelming. "Midway to Judgment" promises that this 2001 Top Cow/Image series is nowhere near letting its protagonist catch his breath.
