Scales & Scoundrels #7

This seventh issue of Image's fantasy series Scales & Scoundrels offers a quietly striking cover from Galaad: a bandage-wrapped young woman with short white hair stands with her back to us, fists loosely clenched, as a dramatic swirl of deep red smoke or flame billows above her — with what appear to be faint winged shapes barely visible within the haze. The composition is bold in its restraint, letting that fiery crimson mass do the heavy lifting against a stark white background. With Sebastian Girner and Galaad continuing to build this world in 2018, it's a series that earns its place on your pull list.
