Dead Romans #3

The cover of Dead Romans #3 says everything about the brutal, unforgiving world Kennedy and Marinkovich have built — a massive, dark-cloaked warrior crouches low, battle axe in hand and arrows jutting from his back, standing over what appears to be a severed head in a spreading pool of blood. It's a striking, painterly image, with Villarrubia's muted earth tones making the crimson all the more visceral. If this third chapter carries the same raw intensity as this cover suggests, fans of gritty historical fiction have every reason to keep reading.
