Abbott: 1979 #1

Abbott: 1979 #1 opens Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä's supernatural follow-up with a cover that immediately commands attention — a confident Black woman in a sharp blazer stands cigarette in hand, surrounded by swirling violet and cyan energy that coils through the air like something ancient and restless. Taj Francis renders her with quiet authority against a moody urban backdrop, the otherworldly forces churning around her feeling both beautiful and genuinely threatening. If this first issue's cover is any indication, BOOM! Studios has something atmospheric and stylish on its hands.
