Vampironica #5

Archie Horror's darkly delightful series wraps its first arc with a cover that perfectly captures Veronica Lodge's new undead lifestyle: fangs out, red eyes gleaming, she lounges poolside in a bikini and sun hat, sipping what appears to be a very crimson cocktail beside a copy of Dracula — while several motionless figures float ominously in the blood-red background. Greg Smallwood's cover art balances suburban leisure with genuine menace in a way that only Vampironica can pull off. A confident, stylish send-off to the arc from the creative team of Greg and Meg Smallwood, Greg Scott, Matt Herms, and Jack Morelli.
