Cover Crush: Drome by Jesse Lonergan

Look at this wild cover. It’s like stained glass, a cosmic portal, and an 80s metal album had a baby. We’re in love. DROME is a trippy creation myth with war, love, death, and a giant demigoddess who rises from the ocean to tell humans to chill out. Naturally, they don’t. Jesse Lonergan’s art style is weird shapes, wild colors, panels that feel like they’re breathing. This one’s for folks who want their graphic novels to punch them in the eyeballs in the best way. Mythic vibes, big questions, gorgeous chaos. It’s out August 19th from Macmillan’s new adult graphic novel imprint, 23rd Street!

Jesse Lonergan rewrites the rules of graphic novels with Drome, a visually mind-blowing epic about war, love, and death in a fledgling world.
First, there was nothing. Then, humanity was born, and an endless cycle of violence began. From the depths of the ocean, a mighty demigoddess is called forth to rein in humankind’s destructive impulses, and teach a language of peace and harmony. Civilization quickly takes root, a great city rising from the desert. But the balance between chaos and order is a fragile one, and there are higher powers at work in this strange new world.
Creator Jesse Lonergan pushes the boundaries of the comics medium in this visually spectacular epic. In turns pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching, Drome is a creation myth for the modern age.
