“The Artificial Heart, Book 1: Handmedowns of the Ragged School”

A young Tim Hunter levitates above a dark, flooded chamber, his finger alight with magical flame as he rises toward a fiery archway above — while below, a shadowy figure peers up through iron bars. Charles Vess's painterly cover for issue #9 captures the series' blend of wonder and unease beautifully, framing Tim as a boy poised between worlds of light and shadow. John Ney Rieber, Gary Amaro, and Peter Gross kick off "The Artificial Heart" with this atmospheric opener that promises something both strange and deeply human.
