Maestros #4

Steve Skroce's richly detailed cover for Maestros #4 presents what looks like a formal royal portrait — a bearded, golden-crowned sorcerer-king looms behind a young boy in ornate blue-and-gold robes, while an elven woman with silver hair stands at his side, all framed by blooming flowers and a distant fantasy castle bathed in a dusky pink sky. Dave Stewart's lush colors give the scene an almost Renaissance painting quality, lending the trio a regal grandeur that feels both majestic and quietly unsettling. If this series has been on your radar, this issue's beautifully composed cover is a compelling reason to dive in.
