Lantern City #9

Two figures in red coats stand atop a massive mossy log suspended in an eerie, mist-shrouded forest, one gripping a pistol while hulking, horned creatures loom in the foreground and a ghostly figure haunts the canopy above — it's a cover that radiates tension and atmosphere in equal measure. Benjamin Carré's painted artwork gives Lantern City #9 a genuinely cinematic quality, with lush greens and deep shadows pulling you into what feels like a world far removed from the city's iron walls. From Archaia and the creative team of Daley, Scott, Magno, and Blythe, this 2016 issue promises the series at its most visually arresting.
