Barbarella #1

Dynamite's 2024 relaunch of Barbarella opens with a cover by Joseph Michael Linsner that sets the tone beautifully — the galaxy-trotting heroine floats through a star-filled cosmos in her pink spacesuit, ray gun in one hand and a gleaming planet cradled in the other, while a green-skinned, armored alien pursues her below amid drifting worlds and retrofuturistic spacecraft. It's a vivid, pulpy tableau that captures everything appealing about science-fiction adventure with a knowing wink. Writer Blake Northcott and artist Anna Morozova kick things off with "Escape from Planet V! Part One," promising readers a story as fun and propulsive as that cover suggests.
