Fairlady #2

Fairlady's second issue from Image puts its determined heroine front and center — cloaked and sure-footed, she stands at the edge of a rocky precipice surrounded by scattered books, loose pages, and skulls, with a mysterious spired tower rising on the distant hillside behind her. The cover art by Claudia Balboni gives the scene a wonderfully moody fantasy atmosphere, balancing quiet confidence with an undercurrent of danger. Each issue promises a complete self-contained mystery, making this 2019 series a satisfying pick for anyone who loves their fantasy with a healthy dose of detective noir.
