The Mocking Dead #5

The Mocking Dead reaches its grim conclusion with issue #5, subtitled "Phase Five: Extinction" — and this blood-soaked cover makes the stakes unmistakably clear. What appears to be an official CDC emergency preparedness pamphlet — "The Mocking Dead: A Last Ditch Guide to Outlasting the Living Dead" — is utterly drenched in crimson splatter, with ghostly handprints clawing across shattered glass in the background. It's a darkly clever piece of design that captures the series' blend of horror and sardonic humor right up to the bitter end.
