Midnight Nation #8

J. Michael Straczynski's Midnight Nation returns with issue #8, its cover by Gary Frank and Jonathan Sibal painting a stark, emotionally raw scene: a disheveled, anguished man crouches on the ground, clawing at the air in obvious torment against a twilight sky, while the looming legs of a towering figure loom over him from above. The contrast between the small, suffering figure below and the imposing presence above gives the image a palpable sense of vulnerability and spiritual stakes. With a story titled "Somewhere between Nearly There and There," this 2001 Top Cow/Image release promises the kind of thoughtful, soul-searching drama that made this series stand out.
