The Manhattan Projects #13

The Manhattan Projects has always had a flair for bold design choices, and issue #13's cover — a striking checkerboard of warm reds anchored by a clean central disc bearing the series logo — is as confident as the series itself. Subtitled "Piece by Piece," this August 2013 entry from Jonathan Hickman, Nick Pitarra, and Jordie Bellaire continues the book's alternate-history premise: what if the atomic bomb program was merely a cover for something far stranger? The minimalist cover, designed by Hickman himself, makes a quietly arresting statement on the shelves.
