Artifacts #26

From the Top Cow Universe comes Artifacts #26, the fourth chapter of the "Progeny" arc, written by Ron Marz with interior art by Marco Turini and colors by Andy Troy. John Tyler Christopher's cover is immediately arresting — a vulnerable figure, curled in a fetal position, lies nestled within a dense tangle of dark, coiling mechanical or organic tendrils that fill the entire image with an unsettling, otherworldly dread. It's a quietly haunting composition that speaks to themes of entrapment and fragility running through this 2013 Top Cow series.
