Astronauts in Trouble #2

A sleek retro-styled rocket blazes upward through a star-filled sky on Charlie Adlard's cover for this second chapter of Astronauts in Trouble, with a strip of black-and-white interior panels along the bottom hinting at the near-future drama waiting inside. Larry Young's "U.S. and Them" arrives with a quote from The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror already singing its praises — always a good sign for an eleven-issue Image series hitting its stride. If you're after sharp sci-fi storytelling with art that makes even a rocket launch feel genuinely thrilling, this one deserves a spot in your pull list.
