    Madame Xanadu (2008 2nd Series) 24

    Extra Sensory: Part 1 of 6 - Written by MATT WAGNER. Art by MARLEY ZARCONE. Cover by MARK BUCKINGHAM. Writer Matt Wagner redefines the way we think about the five senses in 'Extra Sensory,' a 6-issue storyline featuring different interior art each issue by some of today's most talented female comics artists and covers by Mark Buckingham (FABLES)! Acclaimed newcomer Marley Zarcone (Forgetless) kicks things off in New York City, 1963. While riding on the subway, a young woman from Harlem begins seeing brutally horrific metamorphoses right in front of her eyes. Can a visit to Madame Xanadu's Lower East Side storefront help stop these strange, prophetic visions before her she stares death in the face? Other evocative artists joining this arc include Laurenn McCubbin (Rent Girl), Chrissie Zullo (CINDERELLA: FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE), Celia Calle (AMERICAN VIRGIN) and Marian Churchland (The Beast). Amy Reeder and Richard Friend reunite on the final issue of the arc, which focuses on Madame Xanadu's 'extra' sense - her clairvoyance. MATURE READERS Cover price $2.99.
