John Shirley (w) • Kyle Hotz (a & c) As the shuddering climax of The Crow: Death & Rebirth draws near, the ghost of Jamie's friend Toko descends into the spiritual World Below of Japanese tradition, and discovers that while Haruko's body walks the mortal world, her soul is trapped in the afterlife, destined to be consumed by a powerful demon... unless it can be rescued in time. Cold rage overflows the vengeful spirit of The Crow, as he penetrates the shadows of Tokyo in diminishing hopes of saving his soulmate...FC • 32 pages • $3.99TRANSCRIPT
