Common Grounds #6

The final issue of Top Cow and Image's quietly remarkable anthology series goes out on a striking note, with cover art by Rodolfo Migliari depicting a blue-skinned, dreadlocked superheroine bearing a pi symbol on her chest — poised and composed amid swirling red capes and the outstretched arm of a blonde woman in green. Guillermo del Toro's cover quote — "endearing, moving and painfully human" — feels apt for a series that always found the human story beneath the superhero surface. Troy Hickman and Dan Jurgens close things out with "This'll Be the Day," a fitting title for a series that consistently proved superheroes could be genuinely moving.
