Runaways #22

Romance takes center stage on Kris Anka's dreamy cover for Runaways #22, where two figures in period-inspired costume share a tender, close-lipped kiss amid soft clouds of pink and blue — while two younger characters below look on with knowing, somewhat bemused expressions. Rainbow Rowell, Andrés Genolet, and colorist Michael Garland bring their Eisner Award-nominated series (Best Continuing Series) to its fourth chapter of "But You Can't Hide," and the cover's mix of swooning fantasy and grounded reaction shots perfectly captures the series' signature blend of heart and humor. If you've been following this run, issue #22 looks like exactly the kind of emotionally rich installment that earned the book its nomination.
