Giant Days #26

The cover of Giant Days #26 says it all with a single sharp visual: a well-dressed man on bended knee — top hat in one hand, a bouquet of pink roses in the other — dangling helplessly as a marionette from two oversized feminine hands above. It's a wonderfully wry piece of cover art by Max Sarin, balancing romantic comedy and mild existential dread in equal measure. John Allison's beloved slice-of-life series continues to deliver that distinctive mix of heart and humor that has made this BOOM! Box title such a treat.
