The Unwritten: Apocalypse #12

The finale issue of The Unwritten: Apocalypse arrives with a quietly powerful cover by Yuko Shimizu — a young, disheveled man standing hands-in-pockets, head bowed, as if the weight of everything rests on the single ornate red book beneath his feet. That stark white negative space makes the image feel both intimate and enormous, perfectly suited to a series that has always found grand stakes in the act of storytelling itself. Mike Carey, Peter Gross, and Chris Chuckry bring their Vertigo saga to its conclusion in March 2015 with this mature-readers capstone.
