The Sword #5

The Luna Brothers deliver a striking and unsettling image for this fifth issue of their creator-owned Image series — a young blonde woman restrained in a chair, her head locked in a metal brace, chains wrapping around her from all sides, while an eerie light emanates from behind her head. The composition is spare but deeply effective, all shadow and cold metal against her luminous white clothing, making the scene feel both clinical and quietly ominous. If you've been following The Sword, this cover by Jonathan Luna makes it very clear that the stakes for our protagonist have never felt higher.
