Savage Hearts #1

Dark Horse launches Savage Hearts with a cover by Jed Dougherty that immediately sets a bold, adventurous tone — a determined warrior woman in ornate armor grips a battle-axe while a hulking, horned beast-man with fanged teeth and a medallion looms close behind her, both framed by lush jungle foliage and vivid tropical flowers. The pairing of these two striking figures — one steely and battle-ready, the other wild and imposing — promises a story where the line between ally and adversary might be gloriously blurred. Writer Aubrey Sitterson and artist Jed Dougherty make a confident first impression with this 2021 series, and fans of sword-and-sorcery adventure will want to grab this one from the shelf.
