Elfes #21

The twenty-first volume of Soleil's sprawling fantasy series arrives with a striking cover by Kyko Duarte: four pale-haired elves and a powerfully built orc stand ready for battle, swords drawn and shield raised, while tall-masted ships sail through churning seas behind them. The title "Renaissance" promises a turning point in this richly imagined world, and the assembled group — blue-cloaked and battle-worn — radiates a sense of hard-won alliance on the edge of something momentous. Written by Jean-Luc Istin with art brought to vivid life by Duarte, this 2018 entry is a compelling addition to one of French fantasy comics' most ambitious ongoing sagas.
