Ira Dei #1

A brooding, dark-armored warrior dominates the cover of this opening volume, clutching a blade and bearing a streak of crimson against a smoldering amber sky — a striking image that signals right away the brutal, high-stakes world Brugeas and Toulhoat have built. Titled "L'Or des Caïds," this first chapter of Ira Dei promises intrigue rooted in medieval conflict, and Toulhoat's rich painted linework gives every shadow and scar a visceral weight. If you're drawn to gritty historical adventure rendered with real craft, this 2018 Dargaud release is an excellent place to start.
