Night's Dominion #1

Ted Naifeh's Night's Dominion arrives in French from Glénat with a cover that immediately establishes a rich fantasy world — a cloaked, armored figure stands at the forefront, blades at the ready, while a diverse band of characters crowds in below: a wizened figure in a wide-brimmed hat, a determined young woman, a red-scarfed rogue, and what appears to be a winged creature lurking at the edge. Behind them, jagged dark spires and a glowing, mysterious city paint a backdrop that feels both dangerous and deeply atmospheric. If you're drawn to ensemble fantasy adventures with a darkly elegant aesthetic, this 2018 Saison 1 collection is a compelling place to start.
