Rook: Exodus #5

Issue five of Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok's Rook: Exodus arrives with one of 2024's most striking covers: a towering, scarecrow-like figure stands with arms outstretched across a burning cornfield, black crows swirling and landing across its ragged form against a blood-red sky. Fabok's linework — colored with atmospheric intensity by Brad Anderson — gives the scene a genuinely unsettling weight that fits "The Crucible of Crows" perfectly. If this series has been on your radar, this image alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
