Tomoë #2

The cover of this second volume in Manini & TieKo's Tomoë series sweeps you straight into a snow-swept winter battle, as an armored warrior on horseback charges forward with sword raised high, a full column of mounted samurai thundering through the blizzard behind them. TieKo's artwork is striking in its sense of frozen motion — snow-laden trees, churning hooves, and vivid red tack cutting sharply against the pale, stormy landscape. "De goddelijke spiegel" promises a bold continuation of this Dutch-language samurai saga, and this 2019 Arboris edition is a handsome showcase for the series.
