“Sticks”

In "Sticks," Kurt Busiek and Brent Eric Anderson explore the quiet struggle of Stekk, a former prisoner of Gorilla Mountain who’s traded jungle survival for the rhythm of a drum kit in Astro City. As he tries to build a new life, the pull of heroism—and the weight of his past—begins to echo in every beat. Alex Ross’s striking cover captures the tension between ordinary life and the extraordinary calling that lingers just beneath the surface.
