Horizon #7

The cover of Horizon #7 says a great deal without saying a word: a silhouetted figure tends to small seedlings along a stark horizon line, while below that divide a large assault rifle fades ghostlike into a pale green mist — a quietly striking juxtaposition of cultivation and conflict. That visual tension is exactly what makes Brandon Thomas, Juan Gedeon, and Frank Martin's Skybound series so compelling, and this 2017 Image issue keeps the aesthetic sharp and purposeful. If you've been following this sci-fi series, the cover alone signals that the push and pull between hope and violence is far from resolved.
