Prodigy #5

Mark Millar's Prodigy reaches its penultimate chapter with a cover that radiates genuine menace — Rafael Albuquerque renders a grinning, hooded cult leader conjuring a glowing pentagram, flanked by sword-bearing acolytes emblazoned with matching sigils, while a towering goat-headed figure looms behind them all beneath twin blood-red orbs. The composition is a slow-burn threat made vivid, stacking occult imagery with a cool, methodical dread that suggests the stakes for the series' genius protagonist have never been higher. If you've been following this Image series through 2019, issue five promises the kind of confrontation that the cover practically dares you not to read.
