Wicked (Image) #5

An Image Comic (W) Francis Takenaga (A) Roy Martinez (C) Haberlin Studios From crowded metropolitan jungles to the Old World of the Big Easy, Nathan and Wendy, accompanied by Cristof, find themselves transported to a hidden, darker side of New Orleans. Voodoo superstition, they soon realize, is something a bit more dangerous than mere belief. New Orleans is “Old World” for a reason. The Wicked run rampant through her streets and have seen to it that things are as they want them. But nothing could have prepared them for the horrors they unearth at the ancient Laramie Plantation. Buried in rustic charm and a history that harken to the pre-Civil War era, the Laramie line has all but come to a tragic end. The only remaining heir: the beautiful Lady Carolyn, recently accused of having some hand in the alarming number of disappearances in the area. At a tearful, desperate request, the newly formed trio begin to delve into Carolyn’s plight. They don’t get far, however, when it is soon discovered that Kaliveult himself has learned of Nathan’s whereabouts and is somewhere in the city.
