Fullmetal Alchemist #5

This French omnibus edition from Kurokawa collects tomes 10 and 11 of Hiromu Arakawa's beloved series, presented as volume V in the compilation run. The cover puts Edward Elric front and center — confident, golden-haired, and clad in his familiar coat and automail harness — with a brooding stone figure looming in the shadowy background. A fine way to continue the journey in 2013, gathering two volumes of Arakawa's work into one satisfying package.
