Die #14

Die #13 from Image Comics brings Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans, and letterer Clayton Cowles's dark fantasy RPG saga to another gripping chapter with "Dual Wield." Hans's cover — rendered in a striking teal-and-crimson palette — frames a figure in chainmail, tears streaming down their face in a mix of anguish and defiance, while a clenched fist grips something small and white in the lower panel; ghostly game pieces and mechanical shapes loom in the background. It's a quietly devastating image that captures everything this series does so well: the weight of choice, the cost of the game, and the raw humanity underneath the fantasy.
