Image Special #17
In "Udaku [1]," a mysterious illness sweeps through a tight-knit group, claiming lives with eerie precision—first Nicky Sangiacomo, then Afflek, whose final whisper of "Udaku" sends shockwaves through the survivors. As Twitch grapples with personal loss and the growing dread of the unknown, the line between illness and something far more sinister begins to blur. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Angel Medina, with inks by Jonathan Glapion and colors by Todd Broeker, Jay Fotos, and Drew Hutchinson, the issue’s haunting tone is matched by Ashley Wood’s striking cover.
