Helm Greycastle #3

Issue three of this Image/Top Cow fantasy series brings the tension to a boil, with cover artists Chloe M. Giroux delivering a striking image of a battle-hardened warrior — mohawked, armored, and snarling — raising a massive blade as a smirking, purple-skinned figure looms menacingly at his back. The pairing of these two contrasting figures against a deep crimson backdrop gives the cover a brooding, confrontational energy that fits perfectly with the story title "Dear Your Holiness." With the creative team of Barajas, Napier, Handoko, Valenza, and Downie behind the series, this 2021 entry keeps Helm Greycastle looking like one of the more compelling fantasy reads on shelves.
