Excellence #12

Issue twelve of Brandon Thomas's Excellence closes out its run with a cover that is as striking as the series itself — a close-up portrait of a figure whose very face and head dissolve into an intricate, maze-like pattern rendered in a gradient wash of deep green fading into warm amber and red. The labyrinthine design feels deeply intentional, suggesting a mind caught between complexity and resolution. Khary Randolph and Emilio Lopez's cover work is bold and memorable, a fitting visual statement for this Skybound/Image series in 2022.
