The Vision and the Scarlet Witch #5

Issue five of this twelve-part limited series plunges Wanda Maximoff headlong into something deeply unsettling, as the cover tagline — "In the Land of the Dead!" — makes the stakes unmistakably clear. Richard Howell and Joe Sinnott's cover art places the Scarlet Witch front and center, her hex spheres crackling with energy while a massive, menacing yellow demon looms to her right and a pair of glowing pink eyes leer from above like some vast supernatural presence; scattered around her are fallen or imperiled figures, including what appear to be the undead clawing upward from below. With Vision and Scarlet Witch's portraits framed together in the corner inset, this 1986 Halloween-themed installment feels like exactly the kind of atmospheric, eerie chapter a twelve-issue saga deserves.
