Lancelot #1

A brooding, rain-soaked warrior stands atop a fallen foe, battle-axe in hand and crimson cape billowing, while a vast army of spear-wielding soldiers looms in the murk behind him — it's a striking opening image for this Dutch-language Arthurian series. Lancelot Book 1, "Claudas van de verlaten landen," arrives in 2012 from Daedalus with writer Jean-Luc Istin and artist Alexe crafting what promises to be a grim, atmospheric take on the legendary knight. If this cover is any indication, their vision of the Arthurian world is darker and more brutal than most.
