“The Dimming of the Day”

In "The Dimming of the Day," Kurt Busiek crafts a poignant tale of identity and connection as Quarrel grapples with the tension between a quiet, ordinary life with MPH and the pull of his past with Crackerjack. With Brent Eric Anderson’s expressive art and Alex Sinclair’s subtle coloring, the emotional weight of choices and legacy unfolds in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover by Alex Ross captures the moment’s quiet intensity with his signature realism.
