Isola #5

Isola #5 continues Image Comics' visually stunning fantasy series, and Karl Kerschl's cover says everything you need to know about its emotional core: a young warrior and a magnificent, magenta-hued tiger stand back-to-back, their figures rendered in bold pinks and cool blues against a detailed fantasy map that hints at the vast, dangerous world surrounding them. The two figures share the frame with quiet intimacy — the tiger's powerful profile and the young woman's composed expression suggesting an unbreakable bond tested by whatever lies ahead. With Brenden Fletcher and Kerschl crafting both story and art, this 2018 series remains one of the most visually distinctive and heartfelt adventures on shelves.
