Aslak #5

A towering, bestial warrior clutching an ornate tome faces off against a band of Norse adventurers — horned helmet, shield, furs, and all — bathed in a blinding shaft of light that splits the composition dramatically. This fifth volume in Delcourt's Aslak series, subtitled La Demeure des Occis, promises dark fantasy steeped in Viking atmosphere and high-stakes confrontation. If you've been following this series, the tension building on this cover suggests the story is heading somewhere genuinely gripping.
