Morning Glories #6

Two sharply rendered women — one poised and professional in glasses and a pencil skirt, the other casual and guarded clutching a red ball — face each other with unmistakable tension on this sixth volume of Nick Spencer, Joe Eisma, and Alex Esquejo's celebrated series. The understated body language does a lot of heavy lifting, hinting at rivalry, suspicion, or something far more complicated between these two characters. Morning Glories has always balanced coming-of-age unease with deeper mysteries, and this collection looks ready to deliver more of both.
