The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #2

The second issue of Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey's The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw presents a striking image that sets the tone for the series' savage world: a heavily armored, bovine warrior strides forward gripping a poleaxe, its tip trailing a wide river of blood across the stark white ground, while a column of similarly armed beast-folk marches in the background. Dewey's linework gives the figure a grim, weathered weight, and Jordie Bellaire's muted greens and deep crimson create a mood that is equal parts epic and ominous. With a story titled "Blade of the One Foretold," this 2014 Image release promises a fantasy world where conflict runs deep and the cost of battle is impossible to ignore.
