Pierce Brown’s Red Rising: Sons of Ares #1

Set in Pierce Brown's New York Times bestselling universe, this 2018 Dynamite Entertainment prequel series launches with a striking cover by Toby Cypress — a richly layered composition featuring a towering, ornately patterned face dissolving into swirling cosmic and urban imagery, with a dark bird looming overhead and a glittering cityscape stretching below. The dreamlike, almost psychedelic aesthetic sets a tone that feels both mythic and deeply personal. Fans of the Red Rising saga and readers new to its world will find plenty of visual intrigue to draw them in.
