Ody-C #11

Christian Ward's artwork for issue #11 of Image's psychedelic space odyssey brings an intimate and quietly tense moment to the fore — two figures rendered in striking jewel tones and flowing patterned robes lean close together, their expressions charged with unspoken emotion against a cool silver background. The title "The Fall of the House of Atreus" signals a shift toward mythic tragedy, and this cover's charged stillness perfectly sets that mood. Matt Fraction and Ward's reimagining of Homer continues to feel like nothing else on the shelf in 2016.
