Kurt Busiek's Astro City #21

In "Where the Action Is," writer Kurt Busiek and artist Brent E. Anderson explore the strange fallout when comic-book publisher Manny Monkton, fed up with superbeings retaliating for his shady practices, pivots his entire line to cosmic tales—only to vanish himself when his building disappears mid-morning. As Sally Twinings grapples with the chaos, she reconsiders her own place in the industry. The issue’s striking cover by Alex Ross captures the surreal moment with his signature realism.
