Angelus #4

Ron Marz and Stjepan Šejić's Angelus continues with this striking issue, its cover depicting a confident young woman in black holding a radiant, glowing serpent while a magnificent winged, horned figure looms behind her in a blaze of gold and crimson. Surrounding them are a series of framed card-like portraits — a dark-haired figure, a horned warrior with a blade, and a mysterious woman in a top hat holding a snake — suggesting a gathering of powerful, enigmatic players. Šejić's luminous artwork makes this 2010 Top Cow Universe entry feel genuinely grand in scope.
