Invisible Republic #13

Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko's politically charged sci-fi series reaches its thirteenth chapter with a cover that lays out its world in striking mosaic fashion — a cold expanse of space and a distant moon anchoring the top, while a grid of muted, painterly panels below juxtaposes dense alien jungle, a sleek spacecraft in flight, and the weathered faces of several distinct characters caught in quiet, tense moments. Jordan Boyd's earthy palette of deep teals, rusted reds, and sandy tans gives the whole composition a worn, lived-in atmosphere that feels entirely in keeping with the series' gritty political sensibility. If you've been following this Image series, issue #13 promises the same thoughtful, textured storytelling that has defined it from the start.
