Northlanders #28

The concluding chapter of "The Plague Widow" arrives with a cover by Massimo Carnevale that perfectly captures the arc's desperate, wintry dread — a wild-haired woman clings to a bare, skeletal tree in a blizzard, bloodied and fierce, while ghostly robed figures recede into the storm behind her. Brian Wood and Leandro Fernández bring their eight-part Viking saga to its close with this image of raw, cornered survival against an unforgiving Norse winter. For readers who've followed this Vertigo series through its harrowing run, issue #28 promises a fitting, emotionally charged ending.
