Barrier #[nn]

The cover of this Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente collaboration sets an immediately arresting mood: a razor-wire-topped chain-link fence stretches across sun-scorched, rust-red earth beneath a burning amber sky, while bees drift through the empty air around sparse, withered grass. It's a deceptively quiet image that speaks volumes about borders, boundaries, and the world just beyond them. A compelling addition to any shelf, Barrier announced itself in 2019 as a series unafraid to let stillness carry its weight.
