Canto: A Place Like Home #6

The concluding issue of Canto: A Place Like Home arrives from Dark Horse with a quietly powerful cover by Drew Zucker, colored by Vittorio Astone — a worn axe planted in sun-baked sand, its handle wrapped in a crimson ribbon from which a small golden heart pendant dangles. It's a still, evocative image that carries the weight of the entire series' themes of heart, loss, and perseverance in a single melancholy tableau. David M. Booher's story finds its visual punctuation here, leaving readers to wonder what that blade and that heart together mean as this chapter of Canto's world comes to a close.
