The Seeds #[nn]

A single bee at the center of a hexagonal maze — stark, elegant, and quietly unsettling — sets the tone for The Seeds, the collaboration between writer Ann Nocenti and the multitalented David Aja, who handles art, inks, and lettering throughout. The minimalist green-and-white cover design feels less like a superhero splash and more like a nature field guide gone slightly wrong, hinting at themes of ecology, navigation, and something larger lurking beneath the surface. If "Before We Go" is any indication, this 2020 Dark Horse volume promises a thoughtful, visually distinctive read unlike much else on the shelf.
