Fishflies #2

Jeff Lemire's Fishflies continues with this striking cover showing a grinning blond child riding on the back of a massive, dark insect creature soaring high above a small rural town, red cape billowing behind them. The watercolor-tinged linework — all Lemire's own, from pencils to inks — perfectly captures that mix of wonder and unease that defines the series' tone. At $5.99 from Image, this second issue promises to keep delivering something genuinely unlike anything else on the shelves in 2023.
