Foiled #[nn]

In Foiled #1: "Engagement," Aliera’s routine wait at Grand Central Station takes a surreal turn when a persistent bird drives her to put on her fencing mask—uncovering a hidden world of supernatural beings beneath the station’s surface. Suddenly seeing color for the first time, she’s hailed as Defender Xenda, thrust into a strange, vivid reality where a jeweled practice foil becomes her only weapon. With the city’s unseen dangers now exposed, Aliera steps forward, unsure if she’s part of a performance or something far more real. Written by Jane Yolen and brought to life by Mike Cavallaro’s dynamic art and a vibrant color team, the issue’s cover by Cavallaro captures the moment her world changes.
