Discover the Terrors that May Devour the Entire World in the Final Issue in January 2022

BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at MAW #5, the final issue of a provocative five-issue horror series by award-winning journalist and opinion writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy, and the Fear of Female Power), artist A.L. Kaplan (Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Tricksters), colorist Fabiana Mascolo, and letterer Cardinal Rae, that explores the anger of those trapped by society’s expectations and the monsters born from that collective rage, available in January 2022.

Diana, the ethereal, larger-than-life feminist commune leader, prepares Marion to become the vessel for all of the rage and suffering of the commune—and of women everywhere. Marion and the other women on the commune take their revenge on Chuck and Howie as scapegoats for the sins of mankind. But will their brutal justice resolve the seemingly endless cycle of violence—or perpetuate it? 

MAW #5 features main cover art by artist Ariela Kristantina (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr) with Sarah Stern, and variant covers by Leila Del Duca (Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed) with Marissa Louise, and Tula Lotay (Faithless) with Dee Cunniffe.
