Rocket #6

Rocket nurses a drink at a dimly lit alien bar in this moody, atmospheric cover by Mike Mayhew — a signed photograph reading "Love, Otta" and a sleek blaster resting on the counter adding quiet layers of emotion and menace to the scene. The red-bathed lighting and a solitary raccoon with something clearly weighing on him sets a tone that feels more noir than cosmic adventure. Al Ewing, Adam Gorham, and Michael Garland bring "The Blue River Score" to its conclusion with what promises to be one of the series' most introspective chapters.
