Assassin's Creed Dynasty #3

The third volume of *Assassin's Creed Dynasty* brings the Hidden Ones to Tang Dynasty China in striking manga form, courtesy of writers Xu Xianzhe and Karen Lam and a talented art team led by Zhang Xiao. The cover, penciled and inked by Zhang Xiao, presents a hooded assassin in dark robes, arms crossed with hidden blade extended and a long sword in hand, while a dramatic sweep of crimson cloth spirals around the figure against a stormy sky. It's a brooding, confident image that captures exactly the kind of lethal grace you'd hope to find inside "Golden Turtles Chapter XVII.
