Description

The interior story is almost incidental; this cover is all about female empowerment, as a host of heroines leap toward the reader. Sanapo chose this design because she had done another layout recently which put the reader above the characters, so here she opted for "below."

I had acquired a couple of other Sanapo pieces secondhand previously before meeting her at Lucca Comics 2025, where I purchased this. Sanapo is a fitness buff, which allows her to serve as her own heroic reference for both her own work and that of her husband, Marco Santucci. See additional images for a Wonder Woman pose (not seen on this cover).

A more appealing celebration of International Women's day than what Deadpool and Vanessa do.

Great looking piece. Interesting to see how the central character has a serious expression and juxtapoz that with the smiling femme on the right.  Congrats!

Nice variant cover to celebrate International Women's Day from ML Sanapo! Huntress is pretty damn fierce and I like that "down below" perspective for the view of the characters and how balanced the spacing is in the design. And in this case the artist is as strong as the characters she depicts in real life! I had a chance to chat with her at NYCC several years back myself. Nice pickup!

Yes, the Huntress really does look serious. That's a very strong central image.
