Kaya #14

Wes Craig's cover for Kaya #14 puts the stakes in vivid perspective: two small, cloaked figures — Kaya and Jin — stand dwarfed beneath the massive, looming legs of towering robots as an occupied city stretches out behind them, bristling with the mechanical soldiers of the Robot Empire. The contrast between those tiny white capes and the enormous dark iron machinery above them captures exactly what this series does so well — big adventure filtered through a deeply human (and humane) sense of scale. With the duo racing to track down a princess and secure passage on a pirate ship, this 2024 Image Comics chapter delivers the kind of urgency that makes you flip to the next page before you've finished the last.
