George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings #10

Dynamite's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings Part II reaches issue #8 with a tense, dungeon-set cover by Mike S. Miller that wastes no time conveying danger — a blond figure in red kneels over a woman sprawled on the stone floor while an armored guard looms behind a bound, gagged captive in green, and a snarling brute lurks at the edge of the scene. The combination of vulnerability, menace, and power imbalance packed into a single image is striking, capturing the brutal political intrigue that defines Martin's world. With writing by Landry Q. Walker and interior art by Mel Rubi and colorist Ivan Nunes, this 2021 series continues to be a faithful and visually compelling companion to the HBO phenomenon.
