Oracle #5

The fifth volume of Soleil's Oracle series arrives in 2015 with a striking cover by Erwan Seure-Le Bihan: a red-haired woman in flowing teal robes stands at the center of a burning, colonnaded hall, overshadowed by a towering armored giant whose imposing presence dominates the scene. Writer Stéphane Betbeder and artist Seure-Le Bihan continue their collaboration on "La Veuve" — "The Widow" — a title that adds an air of loss and consequence to this richly atmospheric fantasy world. With flames consuming the grand architecture around her and fallen figures visible in the background, this cover sets a tense, cinematic stage for what promises to be a compelling chapter.
