Invisible Republic #11

Two armed figures stand atop a sheer rocky cliff, silhouetted against a vast alien sky filled with multiple moons and a formation of patrol ships cutting through the haze. Gabriel Hardman's cover art — rendered in smoldering oranges, deep umbers, and flashes of teal — gives this 2016 Image series its signature feeling of hard-won survival on a world that doesn't want you to last. With Corinna Bechko co-writing and Jordan Boyd's atmospheric colors throughout, Invisible Republic continues to be one of the more thoughtfully crafted science-fiction titles on the shelf.
