Eclipse #14

Zack Kaplan's sun-scorched sci-fi series reaches its fourteenth issue with a cover that doesn't pull punches — a desperate crowd of survivors packs the back of a vehicle while, in the horrifying foreground, figures are literally burning alive, their bodies igniting in searing orange flame. Giovanni Timpano and Flavio Dispenza render the chaos with visceral detail, capturing both the terror of the crowd above and the gruesome fate of those caught in the deadly sunlight below. If you've been following this world where sunlight itself is the enemy, this 2019 installment makes clear the stakes have never felt more brutally real.
