Middlewest #6

Middlewest continues to weave its heartfelt, fantastical tapestry with this striking sixth issue from Skottie Young and Jorge Corona. The cover pulls you in immediately — a young boy in a red jacket hovers at the center of a churning vortex, crackling with yellow lightning, while a massive, storm-formed figure looms ominously above and drifting pink bubbles carry tender, dreamlike visions of two figures embracing. Fragments of the Midwest itself float adrift around him — a farmhouse, a water tower, an orange truck, a fluttering open book — painting a picture of a world beautifully, dangerously coming apart at the seams.
