Mirka Andolfo's Sweet Paprika #10

The penultimate issue of Mirka Andolfo's romantic comedy series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its heroine's mix of charm and thorny complexity — a horned, pointy-eared devil woman in a casual shirt leans against a balcony railing, holding a drink can and glancing back with a sly, knowing smile, palm fronds swaying softly in the grey background behind her. Andolfo's linework, rendered here in striking black and white, gives the scene a breezy, intimate quality that feels like catching a quiet moment between bigger storms. With writing by Andolfo and Steve Orlando, this 2022 Image Comics release promises all the wit and emotional warmth the series has delivered throughout its run.
