Skyward #8

There's something wonderfully charming about Lee Garbett's cover for Skyward #8 — our curly-haired protagonist drifts serenely above a cityscape, suspended by balloon tethers while casually biting into a burger, tomato slices floating freely around her in the low-gravity world Henderson and the creative team have built. It's a small, perfectly observed moment that captures the series' knack for finding the everyday humanity within an extraordinary premise. If you've been looking for an Image book with wit, warmth, and genuinely fresh world-building, this 2018 series continues to deliver.
