Obergeist: Ragnarok Highway #5

The penultimate chapter of Obergeist: Ragnarok Highway arrives with a cover by Tony Harris that commands attention — a pale, red-eyed figure in a dark clerical coat channels ghostly violet flames from one hand while a looming mechanical giant stands sentinel behind him, the whole scene layered over grave markers and murky, unsettling hues. It's a striking visual summation of the series' blend of supernatural dread and cold machinery, perfectly titled "Staring in a Mirror with a Dead Man's Eyes." With Dan Jolley's script, Harris's inks, Ray Snyder's line work, and Matt Hollingsworth's atmospheric colors all firing together, this fifth-of-six installment from Image's Minotaur imprint makes a compelling case for one of 2001's more distinctive genre series.
