“Rocket Scientist”

In "Rocket Scientist," a former petty crook is given a second chance at redemption when an unexpected opportunity forces him to confront his past choices. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Graham Nolan, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by Gloria Vasquez and Android Images, the story explores the weight of one decision in a life defined by missteps. The cover, penciled by Nolan and inked by Kevin Nowlan, captures the moment of choice with quiet intensity.
