Black Road #4

In "Shield Wall," Magnus and Julia navigate a treacherous frozen lake, shadows of pursuit closing in behind them. Through haunting flashbacks, Julia recalls her youth in Rome, while Magnus grapples with the memory of his wife’s loss—each moment deepening the weight of their journey. Written by Brian Wood and brought to life by Garry Brown’s stark interiors and Dave McCaig’s moody colors, this issue builds tension with quiet, piercing intensity. The cover by Garry Brown captures the isolation and dread of the landscape.
