Once & Future #30

Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora's mythological thriller reaches issue #30 with a cover that crackles with dark menace — a golden-crowned woman peers over a gleaming sword blade, her expression cold and calculating, while a hulking shadowy beast looms behind her and a horned armored figure dominates the foreground in deep reds and grays. Tamra Bonvillain's moody color work ties the whole composition together, contrasting the warmth of that sword's glow against the murky greens and ominous reds surrounding these formidable figures. If this cover is any indication, Once & Future is still operating at full intensity in 2022.
