In "The Tao of Doralis," Gilbert Hernandez crafts a quietly intense chapter in the Luba series, following Sergio as he ignores medical advice and pushes his body to the limit—both on and off the field. With his signature blend of emotional depth and precise storytelling, Hernandez explores the cost of recklessness through a moment of high-stakes risk and physical consequence. The issue’s cover, also by Hernandez, captures the tension in a single, evocative image.
