Swamp Thing #15

Part five of "Red Harvest" arrives with a hauntingly atmospheric cover by David Mack — a close, partially bandaged face rendered in warm earthy tones, with Japanese characters and stylized foliage layered across the composition like a woodblock print given new life. The intense, steady gaze peering over those wrappings sets a tone of quiet resolve and tension that feels perfectly matched to the story title "Burning Bushido." Brian K. Vaughan's script, brought to life interiorly by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Marc Hempel, continues this Vertigo arc with all the mature, thoughtful ambition the 2001 series consistently delivered.
