Elfes #6

The sixth volume of Soleil's Elfes series finds "La mission des Elfes bleus" wrapped in a striking cover by Kyko Duarte: a blue-skinned elven woman sits in regal composure atop a stone throne, fur-clad and hands clasped around a glowing orb, while a white owl perches at her shoulder and a misty coastal landscape stretches behind her. The cool, intricate color work by Diogo Saito gives the whole image an ethereal, wintry atmosphere that feels both grand and quietly mysterious. Jean-Luc Istin and Duarte's ongoing fantasy saga continues to promise rich world-building rooted in elven lore with a distinctly French bande dessinée sensibility.
