Sang Royal #2

Alejandro Jodorowsky and Dongzi Liu continue their dark medieval saga with Sang Royal #2, subtitled "Crime et châtiment" — a title that promises moral reckoning in equal measure to royal intrigue. Dongzi Liu's cover sets a brooding, atmospheric tone: a striking woman in a deep crimson gown commands the foreground with composed intensity, while a pale, long-haired figure sits brooding on a stone throne behind her, sword in hand. The tension between these two figures, rendered in Liu's richly detailed style, makes this 2011 Glénat release an immediately compelling entry in the series.
