In "Newcomers," Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson explore the quiet pulse of small-town life through Cammie, a young girl temporarily stranded in Caplinville, where she begins to notice the subtle ways heroes and ordinary people shape each other. Alex Ross’s striking cover captures the story’s emotional core, while the interior art by Anderson and coloring by Alex Sinclair bring a grounded, heartfelt realism to the tale.
