Compass #2

The striking cover of Compass: The Cauldron of Eternal Life #2 sets an immediately tense tone — a bound figure hangs suspended upside-down within a pillar of fire, wrapped tightly in rope from head to toe, while onlooking faces lurk in the shadowy background. Justin Greenwood's linework paired with Daniela Miwa's vivid contrast of warm flame against cool blues makes for a genuinely arresting image. Writers Robert Mackenzie and David Walker are steering this Image adventure series into perilous territory, and this 2021 issue promises high stakes for whoever finds themselves at the mercy of that cauldron's power.
