Pokereiland #9

The ninth volume of Michele Condosta's Pokereiland arrives with a striking cover that places a wide-eyed young boy at its center, clutching a glowing orb marked with a spade symbol while two monstrous, red-eyed creatures loom behind him in a swirl of dark wings, claws, and roses. The subtitle "Het Bedrog" — Dutch for "The Deception" — hangs over this tense scene like a warning, perfectly capturing the uneasy atmosphere Condosta crafts with his detailed, manga-influenced linework and rich crimson palette. Published by Arboris in 2023, this is a beautifully composed chapter in a series that clearly has a flair for supernatural menace and high-stakes drama.
