Red Border #[nn]

The cover of this AWA Upshot release tells you everything you need to know about the tone: a stark silhouette of a border fence wrapped in razor wire looms against a fiery orange-red sky, all dread and tension without a single figure in sight. Jason Starr's story is brought to life by Will Conrad's art and Ivan Nunes's colors, and that gradient sky alone — burning from deep crimson to amber — sets a mood that's equal parts thriller and social commentary. Red Border promises the kind of grounded, politically charged storytelling that AWA Upshot built its reputation on in 2020.
