Knights of X #5

A pink-glowing sword blazes in the hands of a flower-crowned warrior seated on a stone throne, flanked by a long-bearded sorcerer wielding a golden staff and a regal white-clad woman — all set against a wild, blossom-strewn woodland backdrop teeming with armored and monstrous figures at their feet. Yanick Paquette's cover for Knights of X #5 has a richly mythic, courtly feel that suits the series' blend of Arthurian fantasy and mutant adventure perfectly. Tini Howard, Bob Quinn, and Erick Arciniega bring "Part Five: Fort Krakoa" to life in what promises to be a pivotal chapter in this Otherworld saga.
