Lantern City #12

The twelfth and final chapter of Archaia's steampunk epic arrives with a cover that earns its place as a series sendoff — a breathtaking, haze-drenched cityscape of towering smokestacks, massive industrial pipes, and looming Gothic architecture stretching into a smoldering sky. Perched on a ornate balcony draped in deep crimson banners, a small group of figures surveys the sprawling, mechanical metropolis below, their presence lending quiet human weight to an overwhelming world of iron and steam. Daley, Scott, Magno, and Blythe have crafted a world unlike any other in 2016 comics, and this closing issue promises a conclusion as grand as the city itself.
