Once & Future #19

Against a hellish crimson sky with Big Ben looming in the background, a wounded young man grips a sword and faces down a skeletal, armored villain flanked by a massive winged beast — the mythological mayhem of Once & Future rendered with real menace by Dan Mora and Tamra Bonvillain's fiery palette. Kieron Gillen's "Monarchies in the U.K." promises the series at its most dramatically charged, with ancient evil crowding London's most recognizable landmark. This is exactly the kind of issue that reminds you why this BOOM! Studios series has such a devoted following.
