Elfen #10

The tenth chapter of Daedalus's dark fantasy series Elfen arrives with a striking cover from Ma Yi: a silver-haired dark elf clad in intricate black armor stands poised on a parapet, twin blades drawn, a sprawling twilit fortress city spread out behind him beneath a moody blue sky. The ornate, tapestry-like border framing the image gives the whole composition a richly medieval feel that suits the Dutch subtitle, "Zwarte elf, somber hart" — Black Elf, Somber Heart — perfectly. Marc Hadrien's writing paired with Ma Yi's atmospheric linework makes this 2016 installment one that fans of serious, beautifully crafted fantasy comics won't want to skip.
