Astro City #52

Alex Ross's cover for this 2018 Vertigo issue is quietly breathtaking — a formally dressed couple dances together amid the stars, surrounded by multiple globes of Earth that curve around them like a cosmic cradle. There's something tender and otherworldly about the image, two figures sharing an intimate moment on a scale that dwarfs worlds. Kurt Busiek, Brent E. Anderson, and Peter Pantazis bring their full talents to "And, in the End…," a title that promises the kind of resonant, human-scaled storytelling that makes Astro City so consistently compelling.
