Faster Than Light #1

Image's 2015 sci-fi series launches with a cover that pulls you straight into deep space — a lone astronaut in a full pressure suit drifts in the foreground, a massive spacecraft cutting through a vivid red-and-violet cosmos behind them, with a planet and a glowing vortex rounding out the scene. Brian Haberlin's linework gives the whole image a grounded, tactile weight that keeps the vastness of space from feeling abstract. "First Steps Part 1" promises exactly what the title suggests — humanity on the threshold of something much bigger than itself.
