Pierce Brown's Red Rising: Sons of Ares #4

Toby Cypress delivers a striking cover for this fourth chapter of Pierce Brown's Red Rising: Sons of Ares prequel series from Dynamite. A cloaked, medallion-bearing figure stands at center below, arms raised as if in command, while pairs of struggling figures — rendered in cool blues and grays — are suspended above in dramatic, stylized compositions against sweeping crimson curtains. The watercolor-inflected linework gives the whole image an almost theatrical, ceremonial weight that perfectly suits a story set in one of science fiction's most compelling caste-driven universes.
