Orcs & Gobelins #8

Perched on a rocky precipice high above a sprawling mountain city, a powerfully built orc dominates the cover of this eighth installment in the Orcs & Gobelins series — the subtitle "Renifleur" (meaning "Sniffer") hinting at a story centered on this brooding, green-skinned figure who surveys the world below with quiet menace. Giovanni Lorusso's cover art impresses with its sense of scale, placing the hulking creature against jagged snow-capped peaks and ancient stone architecture that stretch far into the misty distance. Writer Olivier Peru and the Soleil team continue to build out their rich fantasy world in this 2019 volume, and the cover alone promises atmosphere to spare.
