Assassin's Creed Awakening #2

Oiwa Kenji's cover art for this 2017 Titan Comics collection puts the franchise's tension front and center: a blue-eyed, blond-haired assassin lunges toward the viewer, hidden blade extended and white robes trailing behind him against a stark black background. The dynamic, manga-influenced composition gives the figure real kinetic urgency, perfectly suited to the *Awakening* storyline crafted by writer Yano Takashi with art by Oiwa Kenji. Fans of Ubisoft's world who appreciate a sharp East-meets-West artistic sensibility will find Volume Two a genuinely compelling read.
