North 40 #2

Aaron Williams and Fiona Staples's rural horror series continues with this October 2009 WildStorm second issue, subtitled "An' the Word Was Law." Fiona Staples's cover centers on a steely-eyed sheriff standing his ground outside a storefront, a writhing green tentacle coiled across his torso — the kind of lawman who doesn't flinch even when the supernatural wraps itself around him. Looming behind him are two monstrous figures mid-rampage, making it quietly clear that whatever has overtaken this county, the badge is going to have a very long night.
