Breath of Bones: A Tale of the Golem #[nn]

From Steve Niles and Dave Wachter comes this Dark Horse collection steeped in folklore and wartime dread. Wachter's cover renders the contrast beautifully: a massive, rough-hewn golem looms over a wide-eyed young boy amid smoldering ruins, the creature bending down as if to regard the child — or protect him. Praised as "Eisner-worthy" by Comics Bulletin and "stunning" by IGN, this is the kind of story that reminds you exactly why the comics medium can be so quietly, powerfully affecting.
