Age of Bronze #26

Eric Shanower's meticulous retelling of the Trojan War reaches its twenty-sixth issue with "Betrayal 7," and the cover sets a quietly intense tone — two figures rendered in warm bronze tones against a deep royal blue, their heads tilted back in what feels like anguish, intimacy, or both. The bold two-color design, with its Greek meander border, is as elegant as the mythological saga it adorns. Shanower handles writing, art, inking, and lettering himself, making this one of comics' most personal and devoted long-form projects.
