Barbarella #9

Dynamite's 2018 run of Barbarella continues with issue #9, and Dave Bullock's cover is a genuinely playful treat — the galactic adventurer rendered in multiple poses across a geometric, diamond-patterned backdrop, her sleek red-and-gold suit catching the eye at every angle. The kaleidoscopic composition captures Barbarella in mid-flight, crouching, and reaching skyward, giving the whole image a dreamy, weightless energy that suits the story's title, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," perfectly. Mike Carey and Kenan Yarar are at the helm for the interior, making this a solid chapter in one of Dynamite's more stylish ongoing series.
