Resurrection Man #19

Resurrection Man #19 arrives in December 1998 promising "A Bold New Direction" — and the cover by Butch Guice makes that feel earned, presenting Mitch Shelley in a wide-brimmed hat and long coat, tearing open his jacket to reveal the golden Vitruvian Man emblem on his chest. A crowd of ghostly faces — including two younger figures prominently flanking him and several haunted visages fading into the background — surrounds him with an atmosphere of unease and urgency. Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning kick off "Cape Fear, Episode 1: Tights Make The Man!" and if the cover is any indication, this new chapter has real momentum behind it.
