The Manhattan Projects: The Sun Beyond the Stars #4

The cover of this 2016 Image series closer frames a striking ouroboros-like ring — a massive, segmented mechanical or organic creature biting its own tail, ringed with vivid crimson tentacles and bulbous red growths bursting from its armored hide. Nick Pitarra's linework gives the whole thing a feverish, biomechanical energy that feels perfectly at home in Jonathan Hickman's wildly imaginative corner of alt-history science fiction. If The Sun Beyond the Stars has been on your radar, issue #4 makes a compelling visual case for why this creative team earns every bit of its reputation.
