Canto #1

From IDW comes this charming 2019 fantasy series, and its opening cover makes an immediate impression: a small, round automaton knight — clad in dark armor with a golden-trimmed helmet and a flowing red cape — stands resolute beneath a windswept sky, battle-axe in hand, as autumn leaves swirl past a gnarled tree. There's something wonderfully affecting about this tiny warrior's wide, expressive eyes peering out from that imposing visor, blending vulnerability with quiet determination. With art and covers by Drew Zucker, colors by Vittorio Astone, writing by David M. Booher, and lettering by Deron Bennett, Canto #1 announces itself as a series with a distinct and irresistible visual soul.
