Undiscovered Country #22

Camuncoli's cover for Undiscovered Country #22 delivers a striking tableau: a group of determined figures strains together to plant a tattered American flag atop a rubble-strewn rise, with an enormous mushroom cloud billowing in fiery oranges and reds behind them. The deliberate echo of wartime iconography gives the image an immediate, gut-punch weight that feels entirely earned within this series' vision of a sealed, transformed America. Scott Snyder and Charles Soule's ongoing saga continues to find bold visual language for its themes, and this 2022 issue's cover is a vivid reminder of why Undiscovered Country remains one of Image's most arresting reads.
