Cathedral of the Drowned

First book of 2026 done. Brilliant sequel to Crypt of the Moon Spider. Ballingrud is a force, and he’s essentially created his own pulp/sci-fi/horror hybrid here.

House Serrano wishing everyone a Happy Christmas, despite my dog clearly not enjoying having that hat on his head.

Green Lantern/Green Arrow 97 (8018)
