Pumpkinhead #5 cover by Kyle Strahm
There may not be as much demon versus demon action as I had hoped, but this issue brings an effective conclusion nonetheless.

Pumpkinhead #4 cover by Kyle Strahm and Greg Smallwood
One thing of significance happens in the Sheriff's part of the plot, but everything around it is of little consequence.

Pumpkinhead #4 art by Blacky[...]

Pumpkinhead #1 cover by Kelley Jones and Chris O'Halloran
Admittedly, it could become a problem after the fact for everyone else looking into this case, which builds a tension for the long haul. There's a short section at the end that deals with the demon of gluttony, and it brings a Tales from the Crypt vibe to complement the main tale. Pumpkinhead #1 art by Blacky[...]
