Alex + Ada #9

A woman's face dominates this haunting cover — piercing blue eyes gazing directly outward while vertical streaks of blue, suggesting falling rain or cascading digital data, wash over her features. Jonathan Luna's linework renders her expression as quietly unreadable, hovering somewhere between calm and sorrow. Sarah Vaughn and Jonathan Luna's Alex + Ada continues to be one of Image's most emotionally thoughtful science-fiction series, and issue #9 looks like no exception.
