Bastard!! #12

Volume 12 of Kazushi Hagiwara's Bastard!! arrives in its French Glénat edition with a cover that puts the raw power of the series on full display — a wild-haired, muscular warrior surges forward through a chaotic battlefield swarming with shield-bearing soldiers, spear-wielding warriors, and armored combatants pressing in from every direction against a blazing orange sky. The two chapters promised inside — "Le Requiem des Enfers" and "Le Rassemblement" — sound every bit as intense as the cover suggests. Fans of Hagiwara's blend of dark fantasy and hard-hitting action will find plenty to savor here.
