Hey! Where's the Artwork?


Panel A

Boogy and Alice fall to their faces, clutching desperately at the flagstones of the floor. Baba Yaga is hanging on for dear life, her grotesque body flapping like a flag on a pole. The less fortunate demons are being drawn into Samhain's mouth, their bodies breaking apart into a bloody whirlwind of bone and meat to be swallowed in the void of their master's throat. Handsome stands aside, strangely unaffected by the wind that doesn't seem to touch him at all.

HANDSOME (shouting): "Did you think I would not want revenge?"


Panel B

Samhain falls to his knees, overwhelmed by the power of the void. He throws back his head as the vortex grows more powerful. Alice, Boogy, and Baba Yaga are the only demons powerful enough to continue to resist. The other demons have joined the bloody whirlwind, their bodies ripping to bits as they circle nearer to their master's mouth. Large chunks of the ceiling break free and join the vortex.

HANDSOME (shouting): "Did you think I wouldn't know how?"


Panel C

The vortex rips the ceiling apart, opening a hole to the sky above. Baba Yaga screams as her pillar breaks apart. Boogy and Alice are beginning to lose their grip on the stones. Only Johnny Handsome seems immune to the black vortex consuming everything else in sight.


Panel D

Outside view of the Nacre Expanse. We see the exterior of Closet, the high mountain fortress, with a whole in its roof. The black vortex extends up and out into the world. We can see that the air around the fortress is filled with the bodies of demons being drawn towards the vortex from every corner of the iridescent landscape.
