King: Prince Valiant #2

Prince Valiant strides forward in chain mail and red cape, sword in hand and a confident smirk on his face — while looming behind him in shadow is a mysterious top-hatted figure holding playing cards and a pistol. Nate Cosby and Ron Salas bring the legendary knight into Dynamite's 2015 King line with this stylish second issue, and Chip Zdarsky's cover does a wonderful job contrasting Val's medieval heroics against the threat of a decidedly more modern-looking villain. If you're following "The Times and Life of Prince Valiant," this cover alone signals that the adventure has some genuinely intriguing layers waiting inside.
