What's fascinating about the Hood is that his original miniseries is about how much he sucks at being a criminal and every subsequent story completely ignores that

The Hood, a Marvel supervillain whose whole deal is that he's a cheap crook wearing a big red hooded cloak. It's magic

The cover of Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1. It depicts a goth woman in a black and purple dress looking on in shock as a large black tarantula crawls across a stone shelf. Behind her, mist rises, obscuring the houses in the background. A full moon hangs just above her head.

Look, Jack, it's complicated

A panel from The Invisibles. Jack Frost, a young white teenage boy from Liverpool, makes mocking devil horns while sticking out his tongue at King Mob, who is Scottish writer Grant Morrison in a fiction suit. Dialogue reads:

Hell? Is that where God puts all his prisoners, then? Is that where he has them tortured forever for not doing what he says?

How come you don't believe in God but you believe in the Devil?

Very normal, nothing unusual about her at all

A cutesy, cartoony digital drawing of Samantha the Tarantula! She has purple fur with white markings on her abdomen and legs that look like a human skeleton. A word bubble above her head shows a pink heart, because she loves you.

The covers of Shadows Over Ravenkirk 1 & 2 against a dark blue background.

The cover of Ravenkirk 1 depicts a goth woman in a black and purple dress looking on in shock as a large black tarantula crawls across a stone shelf. Behind her, mist rises, obscuring the houses in the background. A full moon hangs just above her head.

The cover of Ravenkirk 2 depicts a goth woman holding a camera and an antique key, with another shadowy woman looking back over her shoulder. The silhouette of a tarantula sits in the bottom right corner. The whole thing is done in shades of pale red and green.

Both covers illustrated by Lauren Walke.

Samantha the Tarantula, digitally painted in dark blue, cream and red in the style of Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama "Hope" poster. Instead of "Hope", it says "Her". This is an incredibly dated reference and it's okay if you don't get it.
