The Neighbors #5

The fifth and final chapter of The Neighbors from BOOM! Studios arrives with a cover by Miguel Mercado that says everything without saying a word: a Victorian house consumed by roaring flames while a man crouches protectively around two young children, and a teenager stands nearby with her back to us, all of them silhouetted against the inferno. The composition is quietly devastating — warm bodies huddled together against an overwhelming blaze, with ghostly figures barely visible in the fire behind them. Writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle and artist Letizia Cadonici's suburban horror series builds to what this image promises: a reckoning that's as much about family as it is about fear.
