Top 10: Beyond the Farthest Precinct #5

In "Ubiquitous Stigmata," the fifth and final issue of Top 10: Beyond the Farthest Precinct, writer Paul Di Filippo and artist Jerry Ordway deliver a chilling, emotionally charged climax as a city-wide possession by the Hell Ditch Pilgrim threatens to consume all. With the mayor and Cindercott falling to the chaos, Robyn Slinger steps forward—her Toybox holding a power no one else can wield—to offer the Pilgrim a chance at redemption. The story closes with a quiet return to normalcy, as Kemlo takes the reins and the city resumes its picnic, leaving the weight of what happened lingering in the air. Cover by Jerry Ordway.
