The Wild Storm #24

The final issue of Warren Ellis and Jon Davis-Hunt's ambitious WildStorm reinvention arrives with a cover that speaks volumes through sheer scale: a lone winged figure ascends high above a sprawling New York City skyline, dwarfed by an enormous, churning sphere of fire that dominates the entire upper sky. Jon Davis-Hunt's linework makes the city feel achingly real and fragile beneath that celestial threat, while Steve Buccellato's colors give the inferno a blinding, almost serene radiance. It's a quietly stunning image to close out 24 issues of careful, intricate world-building.
