The Unwritten: Apocalypse #1

The Unwritten: Apocalypse launches its new chapter with this striking Vertigo opener, featuring cover art by Yuko Shimizu that immediately signals something unsettling — a figure rendered upside-down, their body cocooned in elaborate golden, insectoid forms against a darkened skyline dotted with familiar London landmarks, while pale lilies loom large overhead. It's a deeply atmospheric image that blends botanical delicacy with something far more ominous. Mike Carey and Peter Gross return to their world of story and consequence with "Bestiary," and if this cover is any indication, 2014 is a fine time to dive back in.
