Valhallian - The Black Iron #5

This fifth volume of Toshimitsu Matsubara's Valhallian – The Black Iron puts a commanding, bicorn-hatted warrior front and center, his sweeping pink cape and armored build radiating an imposing authority — while a sharp-eyed young woman with auburn hair stands watchfully at his side and a hulking, mechanized figure looms in the shadows behind them. The moody, steel-toned palette and the series' signature blend of gothic armor and high-stakes tension are on full display here. Ki-oon's 2024 release keeps this seinen series charging forward with plenty of dark-fantasy intrigue to pull readers deeper into the world of the Black Iron.
