The Wicked + The Divine #23

Issue twenty-three of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's critically beloved series presents a striking cover: a powerfully built figure in a sharp suit and overcoat, heavy gold chain around his neck and tinted shades masking his expression, stands with cool, measured composure before a storm-lit backdrop of crackling lightning. The title itself appears reflected and inverted against that electric sky, a clever design touch that suggests a world turned upside down. Matthew Wilson's purple and rose palette gives the whole image an uneasy glamour that feels perfectly at home in The Wicked + The Divine's world where divinity and danger are never far apart.
