Ascender #13

Dustin Nguyen's watercolor cover for Ascender #13 sets a quietly haunting tone — a vast, tiered geometric structure floats in a pale void beneath swirling crimson and violet clouds, while a tiny spacecraft with glowing engines approaches from the distance. The sheer scale of that silent, angular platform against the infinite white gives the image a meditative, almost ominous weight. Jeff Lemire and Nguyen continue to make this Image series one of 2020's most visually distinctive sci-fi offerings.
