The Dream of the Butterfly #1

From Marazano and Luo Yin comes this beautifully atmospheric opener from Lion Forge, set against a snow-dusted festival street alive with lanterns, fireworks, and a roaring lion-dance costume at its center. A young girl in an olive coat stands her ground amid the swirling celebration, flanked by mysterious anthropomorphic figures — a pale rabbit creature and a cloaked, masked presence — that give the scene a wonderfully dreamlike edge. At $12.99, The Dream of the Butterfly #1 announces itself as a visually rich fantasy with deep roots in cultural pageantry and a mood that's equal parts wonder and unease.
