Artifacts #2

This striking black-and-white cover to Artifacts #2 showcases three formidable women — a wild-haired warrior surging forward in ornate, thorn-like armor, a dark-cloaked figure brandishing a spiked lance at her side, and a horned, winged figure looming imperiously in the background. Ryan Sook's linework is exceptionally detailed, giving each character a distinct sense of power and menace against the stark, high-contrast composition. Part two of this 13-issue Top Cow Universe series, it's a compelling visual entry point into what promises to be an ambitious epic.
