Once & Future #29

The cover of Once & Future #29 splits its visual drama across two tiers: above, a white-haired woman and a red-bearded, bespectacled man share a tense, smoke-tinged moment, while below, a fearsome purple-faced creature with glowing green eyes looms alongside a dark, crowned armored figure against a hellish red sky. Dan Mora's linework and Tamra Bonvillain's rich colors give the whole thing a brooding, mythic weight that suits Kieron Gillen's Arthurian-nightmare series perfectly. If you've been following this Boom! Studios title, issue #29 looks ready to deliver more of the eerie tension that makes Once & Future such a compelling read.
