Saga #38

Chapter Thirty Eight of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples's space-faring epic centers its cover on a tender, striking image: a young girl with small dark wings, a unicorn horn, and a glowing tiara peers intently at an open book, while a towering armored figure in pink looms protectively — and somewhat imperiously — behind her. Staples's all-pink palette gives the scene a dreamlike warmth that somehow never loses its edge, balancing childhood wonder against something more complicated just over the horizon. A quietly arresting chapter in one of 2016's most imaginative ongoing series.
