Plutona #3

Emi Lenox's delicate, watercolor-tinged cover for Plutona #3 places a lone blonde girl at the center of a dreamlike forest, her leather jacket and skull-adorned bandana projecting quiet defiance against the soft purples of the surrounding trees. The mood is a careful balance of childhood wonder and unease — she stands still, expressionless, as if carrying a secret heavier than she lets on. Jeff Lemire, Emi Lenox, and Jordie Bellaire's collaboration continues to feel like one of Image's most thoughtfully crafted series of 2015.
