Kurt Busiek's Astro City #7

In "Eye of the Storm," Kurt Busiek crafts a tense, character-driven moment as Confessor and Altar Boy pursue the Deacon, while Honor Guard holds off an alien scout ship on Earth's edge. As the threat looms, Confessor reveals his past to Altar Boy, setting the stage for an approaching alien armada—leaving the fate of Earth hanging in the balance. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, illustrated with precision by Brent E. Anderson and colored with depth by Alex Sinclair, while Alex Ross’s striking cover captures the weight of the moment.
