Monarchs #4

Issue four of Joshua Bullock's Monarchs delivers a striking cover that frames the series' central tension beautifully: a determined young fighter in a white hood stands front and center, one fist blazing with fiery orange energy and the other crackling with icy blue power, while a towering, horned armored figure looms behind them like a dark shadow given form. The tagline — "Beat 'em down to earn the crown!" — sets the competitive, action-driven tone perfectly. Black Sands Entertainment continues to make Monarchs one of the more visually compelling action series of 2023.
