Altaïr #18

Kotono Katō's sweeping political manga reaches its eighteenth volume, and the cover showcases a strikingly dressed figure adorned in rich crimson and gold regalia, feathered helmet, and intricate embroidery, clutching an ornate vessel as golden orbs drift through the air around them. The elaborate costume design alone speaks to the series' hallmark blend of Byzantine-inspired grandeur and meticulous detail. Fans of Altaïr's world of diplomacy and strategy will find this 2017 volume every bit as visually arresting as the journey that brought them here.
