Elfes #29

Three striking figures dominate this cover — a crimson-skinned red elf warrior armed with a spear, a towering green-skinned orc companion at her side, and a smaller armored fighter crouching in the foreground — all set against a misty village of stilted huts on the water. The visual storytelling by the Lorusso/Duarte art team immediately conveys a world where wildly different peoples stand together, uneasy alliances written right into their body language. If the Elfes series has shown anything by its 29th volume in 2020, it's that this universe keeps expanding in bold, imaginative directions.
