Penny Century #6

In "The Race," Jaime Hernandez crafts a dreamlike, introspective journey as Maggie navigates a surreal sequence of encounters—quitting a race, reconnecting with the shrinking Izzy, attending a divorce party, and confronting her "inner twin"—all layered with the quiet weight of guilt from her own divorce. With Hernandez’s signature blend of emotional nuance and visual storytelling, this issue lingers in the liminal space between memory and self-reflection, setting the stage for what comes next. The cover by Jaime Hernandez captures the dream’s disorienting mood with his distinctive, expressive line.
