Elfen #16

A pale elven queen sits enthroned amid a field of skulls, flanked by a looming dark-winged figure and a small fox, while a foreboding black castle glows with orange fire on the horizon — it's a genuinely striking image that sets a dark, atmospheric tone for "Rood als lava." This sixteenth volume of the Elfen series from Daedalus, released in 2018, showcases Kyko Duarte's detailed and moody cover work, rich with intricate golden ornamentation contrasting against the gothic dread of the scene. If you're following this Belgian fantasy series, the promise of lava-red darkness hinted at by the title makes this an intriguing addition to the collection.
