Rasputin: Voice of the Dragon #1

Spinning out of Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson's corner of the Hellboy universe, this five-issue Dark Horse series opens with a cover by Mike Huddleston that sets a brooding, occult-drenched tone immediately. A pale, black-robed Rasputin dominates the foreground, a pentagram emblazoned on his chest, while a Nazi officer stands behind him beneath a crimson banner bearing a swastika and a winged dragon — candles flickering at the edges of what feels like a ritual chamber. It's a genuinely atmospheric opening image for a story that promises dark history, darker magic, and the sinister collision of the two.
