Read a preview of High Strangeness #5 from Oni Press, written by Daniel Noah and Christian Ward, with art by Ward, Dave Chisholm, Noah Bailey, and Chloe Stawski.

“This entire project has been an incredible opportunity to explore the paranormal, not only in the subject matter, but also in the way the books were made,” said writer and SpectreVision co-founder Noah. “The creative process can sometimes feel like an interaction with another realm, and I’ve never felt that more than with HIGH STRANGENESS, in particular this final chapter. To get to realize that with such a powerhouse team of creative conjurers has been a career highlight.”

Added Ward, “Even before reading Daniel’s breakdown I was so thrilled to be invited to work with him again after collaborating years back on the movie poster for Archenemy. After talking with him about what he had in mind for this final part of HIGH STRANGENESS, I was mind blown. Not since working on ODY-C with Matt Fraction, have I been so challenged and excited by the sheer ambition of a comic, so much so that I just had to draw almost 20 pages of HIGH STRANGENESS #5 myself! Honestly, this is one of my favorite scripts I’ve written and drawn, and working with both Daniel and genius artist Dave Chisholm has been a wonderful experience and I can’t wait for everyone to go on this trip with us. To infinity and beyond!”

High Strangeness #5 Official Synopsis:

Welcome to the ultimate terminus of the unknown, where our four chapters, our four tragic fates, and the innumerable threads of our perplexing cosmic existence have all found themselves gathered together. Do fate or free will bind the eerie ultra-terrestrial phenomena that our brains recognize as UFOs, ghosts, cryptids, and other nonhuman intelligences? Are they distinct entities unto themselves, or are they all expressions of some higher order? More pressing still: Where do they come from? And where are we going?
