Assassin's Apprentice #4

Dark Horse's adaptation of Robin Hobb's beloved fantasy continues with this fourth issue, written by Hobb alongside Jody Houser with art by Ryan Kelly and colors by Jordie Bellaire. Anna Steinbauer's cover painting captures a young figure creeping cautiously up a shadowy stone staircase, glancing back over one shoulder with an expression caught between wariness and determination. It's an atmospheric, quietly tense image that feels true to the world of the Six Duchies and the dangerous path of a boy learning his place within it.
