Die Adler Roms #5

Enrico Marini's sweeping Roman epic reaches its fifth volume with a cover that pulls you straight into the chaos of battle — a bloodied Roman soldier wades through murky marshland, clutching a gladius and an eagle-topped standard while armored figures lie fallen around him in the mist. The atmospheric, painterly work by Marini captures both the grim toll of war and the stubborn defiance of a man refusing to surrender Rome's sacred symbol. A fitting continuation of this ambitious historical series from Carlsen Comics.
