Maestros #2

Steve Skroce's Maestros continues its ambitious fantasy epic with a cover that immediately signals grand spectacle — a young wizard-king enthroned in ornate golden armor and a tall conical hat, staff in hand, presiding over a sea of reaching hands and blooming flowers beneath a star-burst pattern alive with glowering red eyes and a cosmic starfield of planets. Dave Stewart's rich, saturated colors give the whole composition a lush, ceremonial weight, somewhere between high fantasy and psychedelic tapestry. If issue one caught your attention, this 2017 Image series is clearly building toward something genuinely ambitious.
