In "Desert of Ash," Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman deliver a grounded, emotionally charged tale as Buddy Baker—still reeling from his latest big-screen success—finds himself pulled back into the fray when a desperate father takes over a hospital's children's ward. With Maxine determined to adopt a pet and her father's attention more divided than ever, the line between heroism and fatherhood blurs in this intimate, character-driven story. Greg Capullo's striking cover captures the weight of the moment, while the interior art by Foreman and inks by Dan Green lend a haunting, lived-in texture to the narrative.
