Halo: Rise of Atriox #3

The third chapter of Dark Horse's Halo: Rise of Atriox delivers a cover that commands attention: two massive, battle-scarred alien faces loom over a chaotic lower scene where armored warriors clash against a swarm of winged Grunt-like creatures amid a fiery, blood-red atmosphere. Aleksi Briclot's painted cover work gives the whole composition a brooding, cinematic weight that suits the Banished warlord's story perfectly. With John Jackson Miller writing and Jonathan Wayshak on interior art, this 2017 series continues to dig into one of the Halo universe's most compelling corners.
