Jersey Gods #2

From Image Comics comes the second issue of Glen Brunswick and Dan McDaid's charming series, and Darwyn Cooke's cover sets exactly the right tone: a massively built god in a bold black-and-white costume clutches a stack of books as he soars above a recognizable Jersey cityscape alongside a delighted dark-haired woman perched on what appears to be a hovering futuristic vehicle. The breezy retro energy and genuine warmth between the two figures make this feel like a superhero romance with real personality — cosmic power meeting everyday life, right there above the parking lots and bridges of New Jersey.
