Dierenriem #10

This tenth volume in the Dutch-language Dierenriem series brings the Capricorn arc to a head with a cover that radiates ambition and authority — a sharp-suited man stands hand over heart before a glowing Capricorn sigil, flames curling around him while an American flag rises at his side, the whole image drenched in a fiery orange that feels equal parts political rally and cosmic reckoning. Thomas Ehretsmann's cover work is strikingly painterly, lending the figure a gravitas that sits somewhere between statesman and true believer. With Corbeyran's writing and Alexis Robin's art inside, De kracht van de Steenbok promises a compelling meditation on power wrapped in the zodiac mythology this 2013 series does so well.
