The Unwritten #31

Vertigo's celebrated series kicks off a bold new arc with issue #31, as "Tommy Taylor and the War of Words" begins here. Yuko Shimizu's striking cover arranges its characters in a swirling snowstorm — a brooding young man in red at center, two wind-battered companions below, and an unsettling green, stitched figure looming from above, with a tabby cat completing the eerie ensemble. Mike Carey and Peter Gross, with art by M. K. Perker, bring their signature blend of literary imagination and genuine tension to what promises to be a pivotal chapter in Tom Taylor's story.
