Air #9

G. Willow Wilson and M.K. Perker's Eisner-nominated Vertigo series returns with issue #9, "Mass Transit," and the cover by M.K. Perker sets an unsettling tone immediately: a flight attendant in a crisp orange uniform strides through an airport terminal pulling her luggage, completely composed — while the floor around her is covered in white chalk outlines of fallen figures. The contrast between her calm, forward gaze and the ghostly silhouettes at her feet gives the image a quiet, eerie power that's hard to shake. If you haven't been following Air, this striking cover alone makes a convincing case to start.
