The Fox returns in Fox Hunt #5 for this arc's final issue from Dark Circle at Archie, written by Mark Waid and Dean Haspiel, and drawn by Dean Haspiel with colors by Allen Passalaqua and letters by Rachel Deering I was mighty impressed with the visual experimentation in Fox Hunt #4 and am looking forward[...]

In this series written with Mark Waid, colored by Allen Passalaqua, and lettered by Rachel Deering, the Silver Age inspired hero, the Fox, takes on some of his deadliest foes, but it's all intensely psychological when it comes to one's own doom.

What could you come up with that was more extreme than something that might appear in the Dark Horse series Grindhouse?
