Age of Bronze #15

Eric Shanower's meticulous retelling of the Trojan War reaches a fever pitch with issue #15, the sixth chapter of the "Sacrifice" arc. The cover, rendered in a striking two-tone yellow and blue, depicts a robed, bearded figure crying out as he lifts a small body overhead, while two anguished onlookers bear witness in the background — an image of raw, ritualistic intensity that captures the weighty themes driving this series. Shanower's commitment to historical and mythological authenticity makes Age of Bronze one of 2002's most thoughtfully crafted ongoing series.
