Coda #4

Matías Bergara's cover for this 2023 BOOM! Studios issue offers something quietly breathtaking: a pointy-eared figure with long flowing hair and a shirtless, white-haired man stand knee-deep in still water, clasping each other's hands beneath a glowing eclipse ringed in vivid red. The reflected moonlight rippling between them gives the scene an atmosphere of fragile connection — tender and otherworldly in equal measure. Simon Spurrier and Bergara's post-fantasy series continues to prove that the end of magic doesn't have to mean the end of beauty.
