Middlewest #8

Middlewest #8 delivers one of the series' most striking covers yet, with a brooding figure — one eye blazing with an otherworldly orange glow — standing at the center of a swirling storm of debris: cars, rocks, a photograph, and a revolver all caught in the chaos around him. Jorge Corona's artwork bathes the scene in deep blues punctuated by that single fiery light, giving the whole image a moody, supernatural weight that feels distinctly Midwestern in its wide-open dread. From Skottie Young and Jorge Corona, this 2019 Image series continues to blend coming-of-age heart with something far darker lurking just beneath the surface.
