A House Divided #2
The second chapter of *A House Divided* — subtitled "A Light in the Darkness, a Lock in the Door" — arrives with a cover that pulls you straight into the chaos: a wide-eyed blue-haired girl in red gloves looks genuinely alarmed as a burly, tattooed swordsman and a grinning blonde figure wielding a dagger close in around her, all set against a swirling backdrop of glowing, magical keys. Haiko Hörnig and Marius Pawlitza have crafted something that feels equally at home with fans of fantasy adventure and all-ages action, blending a playful cartoon energy with real tension. If the first issue left you curious, this cover makes a strong case that the stakes — and the mystery of all those luminous keys — are only getting bigger.

Members of the parties separate in order to explore the lowest levels of the manor. There Henrietta accidentally ignites and awakens a candle simulacrum, who becomes increasingly hostile when he realizes that she, unlike her late uncle, has no magic. In a flashback, Booner wants to rejoin a doomed battle, but Flemming saves his life by deceptively leading him away from it.
