Alex + Ada #7

Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn's thoughtful sci-fi series delivers another quietly arresting cover for issue #7 — a dark-haired figure holding a smooth, expressionless face-mask up to her own profile against a soft green background, the image resonating with questions of identity and what it means to wear a face. Luna's clean linework and delicate color work give the composition an almost meditative stillness that sets this series apart from the louder corners of the Image lineup. If you've been following this story of human and android connection, this 2014 issue promises to keep pulling at those threads in the most compelling way.
