Descender #31

Dustin Nguyen's ethereal watercolor cover for Descender #31 is quietly arresting — a child-like robotic face peers out from within a larger, peeling mechanical form, all rendered in soft pinks and whites against a deep, star-scattered cosmos. The image carries an eerie tenderness, machine and innocence folded into one another as the series heads into the penultimate chapter of "The End of the Universe." Jeff Lemire and Nguyen's sci-fi saga continues to feel unlike anything else on shelves in 2018.
