Runaways #36

Part five of Rainbow Rowell and Andrés Genolet's "Come Away with Me" arc arrives with a striking Kris Anka cover spotlighting a young woman with flowing auburn-and-purple hair, glasses, and a bomber jacket — her lower body dissolving into a swirling vortex of blue light that crackles with energy. There's an effortless cool to the image: one hand on her hip, a utility belt at her waist, she gazes off with quiet confidence even as something otherworldly consumes her. Dee Cunniffe's colors give the whole piece a luminous, electric depth that makes this 2021 installment genuinely hard to set down.
