Les Maîtres Inquisiteurs #7

The seventh volume of Les Maîtres Inquisiteurs arrives in 2017 with a striking cover by Andrea Cuneo: a commanding figure whose head blazes with molten, fiery energy stands draped in a white cloak at the center, while a group of stern-faced young individuals fans out behind him against a backdrop of a fortress perched on a rocky hillside. The tension between the supernatural and the institutional is palpable — this imposing, flame-crowned inquisitor surrounded by what appear to be acolytes or initiates sets a charged, ominous tone for the arc titled "Orlias." Sylvain Cordurié and Cuneo continue to build a world where power and dark authority go hand in hand.
