George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings #13

Dynamite's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings reaches its thirteenth issue, and the cover by Mike S. Miller puts the chaos of battle front and center — a fierce, long-haired warrior in golden armor charges forward brandishing a massive battle-axe, while armored soldiers clash in the smoke-filled, fire-lit background behind him. The composition crackles with energy, ships and combatants swirling beneath a sky choked with green-tinged flames. With Landry Q. Walker scripting, Mel Rubi on interior art, and Ivan Nunes's vivid colors throughout, Part II of this arc looks like one of the series' most visceral installments yet.
