George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones #5

Dynamite Entertainment's adaptation of George R. R. Martin's epic continues with issue #5, and Mike S. Miller's cover art makes a striking statement — a brooding tapestry of Westeros's key players crowded together in tense, uneasy proximity. A large figure bearing the Baratheon stag sigil dominates the background throne, flanked by torchlit guardsmen, while a golden-haired woman in red, a younger blond youth, a red-haired woman at center, a dark-bearded lord in furs, and a fierce dark-haired girl all press into the foreground, their expressions ranging from suspicion to barely contained anger. Daniel Abraham and Tommy Patterson carry Martin's intricate world of noble houses and dangerous alliances into sequential art form, with Ivan Nunes's rich coloring giving every faction its own vivid, unmistakable identity.
