Straight for the art | Astro City: Astra Special #1 cover
Astra #1
I thought this cover for the first issue of the upcoming Astro City: Astra Special was pretty striking when it first popped up on Wildstorm’s The Bleed blog in July, but I really love what Comicraft did to make it look like a magazine. Very cool.
The book comes out at the end of September.

the human body engulfed in Kirby cosmic energy and kirby dots, delightfully rendered by the great Alex Ross makes my day.

It looks like a cover of EW, as opposed to a tabloid magazine like US Weekly, InTouch or OK.

Cool cover, but also a conceit that has lost a lot of cleverness through overuse.
That said, I am looking forward to this. I would have preferred to see Astra as a kid again – that story is a classic among the classics from the early KBAC years – but any KBAC that isn’t the dreary Dark Ages storyline is more than welcome. The specials have been good to great over the years.
