Paper Girls #5
In Paper Girls #5, written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Cliff Chiang, the aftermath of a harrowing journey unfolds as Erin reunites with the other Paper Girls in the basement of the house where it all began. With Naldo and Heck gone and the Old Timers closing in, the girls face a sudden, shocking change when the house vanishes—leaving only a crater in its place. The cover by Cliff Chiang captures the moment’s intensity, as the story pushes deeper into the mystery of time, loss, and the forces that watch from the edges of history.
