Mnemovore #5

Vertigo's psychological horror series delivers a deeply unsettling image in this fifth issue: a red-haired young woman stands blood-spattered before an apartment building, gripping a gore-slicked hatchet with quiet, haunted resolve. Behind her, the building itself seems alive — glowing, predatory eyes peer from nearly every window, and a massive shadowy entity looms overhead, its tendrils curling across the roofline. Mike Huddleston's cover work is atmospheric and genuinely creepy, making this 2005 installment from the creative team of Rodionoff, Fawkes, and Huddleston hard to set aside once you've picked it up.
