Radiant #8

Tony Valente's Radiant Vol. 8 from Ankama brings a striking cover that's hard to look away from — a fierce, blue-haired woman adorned with a jeweled crown and antlers grips a forked wooden staff, her flowing hair laced with delicate trailing flowers and vines. Blood traces her chin, hinting at a hard-fought moment, yet the blossoms winding through her hair give her an almost ethereal, nature-goddess quality. This 2017 volume showcases Valente's gorgeous character design at its most vivid and compelling.
