The Massive #29

A figure plunges helplessly into a churning whirlpool, the dark water swallowing them as ships loom ominously on the horizon above — J. P. Leon's cover for this penultimate "Ragnarok" chapter is quietly stunning in its dread. Brian Wood's post-collapse seafaring series has always excelled at making the ocean feel like an adversary, and issue #29 leans into that tension beautifully. With Garry Brown on interiors and Jordie Bellaire's characteristically moody color work, this fifth-of-six installment promises the kind of grim, atmospheric storytelling that defines The Massive at its best.
