Elfen #5

A brooding dark elf in elaborate silver-black armor crouches against a moonlit sky, his pale, mask-like face framed by feathered adornments and a imposing spiked pauldron — a striking visual statement for this fifth installment of the Elfen series. Writer Marc Hadrien and artist Ma Yi promise a deep dive into "De dynastie van de zwarte elfen," and Ma Yi's cover work alone conveys a world of cold elegance and quiet menace. A gothic tower looms in the misty background, completing a cover that sets an unmistakably dark and atmospheric tone for this Dutch-language fantasy saga.
