Canto: A Place Like Home #5

The penultimate chapter of Canto: A Place Like Home arrives with a cover that practically crackles with tension — a towering, cloaked armored villain dominates the crimson-streaked sky, sword raised and energy surging around them, while the small but determined Canto charges forward in his red cape across a battlefield strewn with debris. Drew Zucker's linework gives the size contrast between these two figures a real dramatic weight, and Vittorio Astone's deep purples and electric pinks make the whole scene feel gloriously operatic. If this fifth issue is any indication, the arc is heading toward one seriously charged conclusion.
