Alex + Ada #14

Alex and Ada sprint hand-in-hand across a stark white background, their expressions tense and determined — a cover image that radiates urgency and emotional stakes in equal measure. Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn's sci-fi series from Image has built a quietly compelling world around human-android connection, and this 2015 issue suggests the two central figures are running toward something, or perhaps away from it, without letting go of each other. With Jonathan Luna handling both the writing and the full visual realization of the series, Alex + Ada #14 is a beautifully rendered chapter in one of the more thoughtful titles on shelves that year.
