Medici's #2

The second chapter of Daedalus's Renaissance saga brings Lorenzo il Magnifico front and center — a young nobleman in richly detailed golden armor dominates the foreground, while a vast assembled army stretches across a sweeping Italian landscape behind him, with mounted knights and massed infantry hinting at the conflicts surrounding the Medici dynasty. Eduard Torrents's cover work is meticulous, blending the grandeur of fifteenth-century Florence with an almost cinematic sense of scale. Olivier Peru and Torrents continue their exploration of power passed from father to son, making this 2019 volume a compelling addition to any fan of historical European comics.
