The Airless Year #[nn]

A young guitar-player stands alone on a rocky ledge, back turned to the reader, facing a sprawling nighttime cityscape beneath a vast, ink-splattered cosmos filled with cracked planets and floating bubbles — it's a cover that immediately evokes both intimacy and cosmic scale. Adam P. Knave, Valentine Barker, and Frank Cvetkovic deliver a story that feels like it lives at the intersection of music, wonder, and something just a little stranger than everyday life. If you're drawn to 2022 comics with a quietly adventurous heart, The Airless Year looks like a very compelling place to start.
