Islandia #1

Marc Védrines sets an immediately arresting tone with this opening volume of Islandia, its cover dominated by a weathered wooden post topped with a dark, horned goat's head bearing a carved Norse aegishjálmur symbol — a striking sentinel against a cold, mist-shrouded mountain landscape. Huddled wooden structures sit snow-dusted in the background, conjuring a world of Norse mythology and icy northern isolation. Boreal Landing promises a journey into something ancient and atmospheric, and at £7.99 / $13.95, it's an easy invitation to step into Védrines' beautifully rendered frozen world.
