12 #[nn]

Manix Abrera's *12* from Ablaze is a quietly arresting work, its cover presenting twelve small, distinctly expressive figures — rendered in soft purples, pinks, and blues against a stark black background — each one a little different: one waving, one holding a red balloon, one with arms raised, another seemingly startled. The minimalist character designs carry surprising emotional weight, hinting at twelve separate stories or perspectives waiting inside. It's the kind of cover that draws you in slowly, making you want to know each odd, endearing little figure personally.
