The Infinite Vacation #5

The concluding chapter of Nick Spencer and Christian Ward's reality-hopping series arrives with a cover that says it all without showing a face — a lone figure stands with his back to us, dwarfed by two enormous, luminous Earths cracking and burning against a vivid pink cosmos. Ward's painterly colors give the scene a dreamlike weight, the worlds fragmenting as if the very idea of infinite choice is finally catching up with someone. A fitting, visually arresting close to one of 2013's more ambitious sci-fi indie series from Image's Shadowline imprint.
