Elfes #1

The opening volume of Soleil's Elfes series arrives with a striking cover by Kyko Duarte — a blue-skinned elven warrior stands commanding and resolute, draped in dark furs and intricate golden armor, against a moody backdrop of ancient stone ruins rising from misty waters. Her composed, fierce gaze sets an immediate tone of strength and mystery for "Le crystal des elfes bleus," the story that Jean-Luc Istin crafts alongside Duarte's art and Diogo Saito's rich coloring. This 2013 French-language fantasy launch promises the kind of immersive world-building that fans of beautifully illustrated European comics will find genuinely hard to put down.
