Grass Kings #15

A quietly haunting watercolor cover from Tyler Jenkins sets the mood for this penultimate-feeling chapter of Matt Kindt's rural saga — a roadside sign reading "You Are Now Leaving the Grass Kingdom" stands at a misty crossroads flanked by bare, skeletal trees, with an owl perched watchfully atop it and a small crowned figure slumped at its base. The muted grays and earthy tones, colored by Hilary Jenkins, give the scene a melancholy weight that feels like a genuine farewell. Grass Kings has always balanced folk-tale atmosphere with grounded emotion, and this 2018 issue wears that balance beautifully on its sleeve.
