Alex + Ada #4

Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn's thoughtful sci-fi series continues with this quietly arresting fourth issue from Image Comics. The cover, illustrated by Jonathan Luna, presents a female android figure — her body drifting against a bold red background, her skin marked with glowing digital pixel patterns that hint at the technology beneath — eyes closed, dark hair splayed out, a delicate curved line weaving around her in an almost dreamlike calm. It's an image that perfectly captures the series' blend of humanity and artificiality, making this 2014 issue a compelling entry in one of Image's more meditative offerings.
