The Shadow / Green Hornet: Dark Nights #5

The penultimate chapter of Dynamite's 2013 pulp crossover event arrives with an Alex Ross cover that practically radiates tension — the Shadow and the Green Hornet loom in extreme close-up from either side of a darkened tunnel, guns trained on a lone, luminous figure standing defiantly between them with arms outstretched. Ross's moody, painterly atmosphere makes that central confrontation feel genuinely charged, two of pulp fiction's greatest masked vigilantes converging on a single moment of reckoning. With Michael Uslan's script and interior art by Keith Burns, Dark Nights #5 is shaping up to be a gripping near-finale for fans of both heroes.
