My Faith in Frankie #2

The cover of this second issue in Mike Carey and Sonny Liew's Vertigo miniseries says it all with its wry tagline: "Just don't expect her to worship you in the morning." Marc Hempel's cover art fills the foreground with a sharp-eared, wide-eyed supernatural figure peering sidelong with delightful suspicion, while in the background a young couple share a cozy romantic moment, blissfully unaware of their observer. It's a clever, charming composition that perfectly captures the mix of whimsy and divine complications at the heart of this mature-readers series.
