Les aigles de Rome #5

The fifth volume of Enrico Marini's Les Aigles de Rome arrives with a cover that's atmospheric and foreboding — a lone warrior, bloodied and tense, wades through murky water clutching a blade in one hand and a Roman eagle standard in the other, while shadowy, armored figures lurk in the mist behind him. Marini's art perfectly captures the series' blend of ancient Roman grit and brooding drama, with a cool, swamp-drenched palette that feels genuinely cinematic. If you've been following this saga of Rome and Germania from Dargaud, Livre V looks like a compelling next chapter.
