Witness the unexpected finale of the latest Witchfinder story from Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson, with art by Christopher Mitten and colors by Michelle Madsen!
Mark: I remember, back when I read “Rise of the Black Flame,” being overwhelmed by the way Christopher Mitten drew Hecate as a sort-of cosmic deity, so the cover on this one has me really damn excited for the final issue of ‘The Reign of Darkness.’

MiniseriesPursuing his humanity in the unlikely company of arctic adventurers, the “monster” Frankenstein unwittingly becomes the pawn of an ancient cult! Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, he’s been recognized as Viktor Frankenstein’s creation by a powerful local man whose influence might see him arrested. . . or worse!
Mark: Ancient cult? Arctic adventurers? I can’t help but wonder if this story might end up taking on a Lovecraft-esque dimension, especially considering the Frankenstein monster is so close to the final resting place of the Hyperborean city capital, Gorinium.
