Paper Girls #17

Three of the paper girls crowd behind an older woman typing at a vintage computer terminal, all four faces bathed in an eerie teal glow — while a dark, strange figure with a glowing red orb in its chest looms at the right edge, clearly uninvited. Cliff Chiang's cover composition perfectly balances the mundane and the unsettling, with Matt Wilson's cool palette making that single red light feel genuinely ominous. Brian K. Vaughan and company are deep into one of 2017's most inventive sci-fi series, and this issue promises the tension is only climbing.
