Black Science #43

Black Science #43 delivers one of the series' most hauntingly beautiful covers, with Matteo Scalera painting a lone silhouetted figure standing before a massive, blazing tree — its fiery crown reflected below as a perfect mirror image, roots descending toward a glowing orb in a surreal, otherworldly sky. The duality of destruction and stillness, fire above and calm below, captures everything this Rick Remender series does so well: pairing breathtaking visuals with a sense of wonder edged in dread. Moreno Dinisio's rich amber and burnt-orange palette makes this 2019 issue feel like a fever dream you won't want to wake from.
