Kaya #18

Wes Craig's Kaya continues to deliver vivid fantasy action with issue #18, and this cover makes a striking statement — a dark, creature-like figure perches triumphantly atop a massive, swirling mass of shadow, framed by a circular ring and a scatter of gold and pink stars against a deep magenta sky. The cover copy sets the stakes plainly: the city has erupted in violence between rebels and the King's army, with Kaya caught in the middle facing a decision that sends her and Jin somewhere new and dangerous. At $3.99 from Image, this 2024 issue shows Craig's confident linework at its most theatrically arresting.
