Gen 13 #68

A mischievous pink-haired figure dominates this October 2001 WildStorm cover, cradling a wide-eyed, clearly distressed man in the palm of her hand while floating hearts drift around her and two other young women look on with varying degrees of alarm — it's a wonderfully playful image rendered with sharp energy by Adam Warren. The starburst badge cheekily promises the issue "Featuring The Authority! Sort of," which sets a delightfully irreverent tone for "Failed Universe, Part 1 of 2." Warren also handles the writing here, joined by artist Yanick Paquette and inker Andrew Pepoy, making this a particularly cohesive creative package for Gen 13 fans.
