Artifacts #28

Part two of "Truths & Destinies" arrives with a stunning cover showcasing a warrior woman in ornate red-and-black armor adorned with gold filigree, crouching with a long staff in hand and a flowing crimson cape billowing behind her. The intricate detailing on her gear — from the embossed kneeguard to the glowing artifact chain she holds — speaks to the richly layered mythology that has made this Top Cow Universe series a standout. With Ron Marz scripting and art from Marco Turini and Bill Farmer, this 2013 Image Comics entry looks as fierce as it does beautiful.
