Pennyworth #5

The penultimate stretch of this seven-part series arrives with a cover by Jorge Fornés that makes a striking statement: a weathered Union Jack dominates the entire image, its left side fractured into jagged, lightning-bolt tears, while a lone figure in a coat sprints urgently across the flag's blue field. That solitary runner — small against the vast, crumbling symbol of Britain — quietly captures the tension at the heart of Scott Bryan Wilson's story of Alfred Pennyworth navigating a world that may be coming apart at the seams. With Juan Gedeon's interior art and John Rauch's colors bringing "In the Age of the Ageless" to life, issue #5 keeps this miniseries moving at a compelling pace.
