The Wicked + The Divine #27

A blue-skinned figure dominates this striking Image Comics cover, leaning coolly on a skull-topped cane while draped in layered chains and religious pendants, a studded leather jacket open across his chest and a raven's wing folded at his shoulder — all set against a fiery red-orange backdrop with the series title rendered in mirror-image type. Jamie McKelvie's character work is at its most assured here, blending divine mythology with rock-star swagger in a single confident pose. Kieron Gillen, McKelvie, Matthew Wilson, and Clayton Cowles continue their 2017 run with this twenty-seventh chapter, and the cover alone makes a compelling case for why this series has earned such devoted readership.
