The Wicked + The Divine #45

This penultimate-era issue of The Wicked + The Divine arrives with a quietly arresting cover by Jamie McKelvie — a close, unflinching portrait of a young woman with a voluminous natural afro, striking green eyes, hoop earrings, and a black turtleneck, her gaze steady and unreadable against a soft teal background. The title treatment is rendered in mirrored, partially reversed lettering, giving the design an unsettling, reflective quality that feels entirely intentional for a story arc titled "In Memoriam - Coda." Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson, and Cowles bring their full creative chemistry to this 2019 Image series, and the cover alone communicates the weight and intimacy that has made WicDiv one of the most talked-about runs of its era.
