City Hall #7

Two sharp-eyed rivals face off in tense close-up on this volume's striking cover, each reaching for a glowing card that crackles with obvious significance between them. The steampunk-inflected City Hall logo and ornate gear-and-cityscape emblem set the tone perfectly for Guillaume Lapeyre and Rémi Guérin's manga-influenced series from Ankama. Volume 7, arriving in 2015, promises the kind of high-stakes confrontation that fans of the series have come to expect.
