Elfes #10

A dark elf in elaborate black armor stands imperiously atop a stone parapet, white dreadlocked hair framing sharp features as a brooding cityscape of domed towers stretches into the blue-grey mist below — Ma Yi's cover work for Elfes #10 is moody and assured. Written by Hadrien, this 2015 Soleil entry carries the evocative title "Elfe noir, coeur sombre" ("Dark Elf, Dark Heart"), and the figure's cold, commanding posture makes it easy to believe every word of that promise. Fans of atmospheric European dark fantasy will find this volume a striking addition to the ongoing Elfes series.
