Reconquêtes #3

The third chapter of Reconquêtes arrives with a striking cover that pulls the eye in two directions at once — a close-up of a tattooed, helmed warrior gazes out with cool intensity, while behind her a fierce woman in battle dress raises a torch and rallies horsemen across a dusty, chaotic battlefield. Miville-Deschênes and Rumberg deliver Le Sang des Scythes, a title that promises ancient steppe warfare and high-stakes conflict rooted in Scythian legend. This 2015 Le Lombard release looks like exactly the kind of richly illustrated historical adventure that rewards both newcomers and series faithful.
