The Wicked + The Divine #19

The cover of The Wicked + The Divine #19 is a gorgeous, heat-soaked composition — a shaved-head figure adorned with a laurel crown commands the foreground, arms outstretched in a gesture that reads somewhere between performance and divine authority, bathed in swirling amber and electric blue light with a crowd celebrating behind them. Jamie McKelvie's linework and Matthew Wilson's radiant color palette make the whole thing pulse like a stage at peak concert energy. Kieron Gillen, McKelvie, Wilson, and Clayton Cowles continue delivering one of Image's most visually distinctive series with this 2016 installment.
