The Necromancer #3

The concluding chapter of "Something in the Way" arrives with a cover that puts the tension front and center: a fierce red-haired young woman strides forward through walls of flame, chains binding her arms as a massive horned demon looms behind her, while a blond figure and armored warriors lurk in the shadows at the edges. Francis Manapul's pencils crackle with energy, balancing the supernatural menace of that towering demonic presence against the determined defiance on the protagonist's face. With Ortega, Manapul, Conrad, and Buccellato all on board, this Top Cow/Image series was clearly bringing serious creative firepower to its supernatural corner of 2006.
