ARCHIVE PICK / 02FEATURED COMIC
The tenth escape should have been the last. With lightning splitting the city and a colossal hand reaching through the storm, running is only the beginning.
MAKING THE COVER
The professional artwork follows Niko’s original drawing instead of replacing it. Move through each stage to see which details stayed, what grew and how the atmosphere was built.
“The original drawing is the map. The finished cover is the adventure.”
