Runaways #6

The concluding chapter of "Pride and Joy" arrives with a hauntingly understated cover by Jo Chen — a young woman in a worn hoodie and pink knit cap glances back over her shoulder against a wintry, snowflake-scattered background, her expression carrying equal parts weariness and quiet resolve. It's a mood that suits a series about kids on the run, and the restraint of this single-figure image speaks volumes. Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona bring their opening arc to a close in what promises to be an emotionally charged finish.
