Ad Astra #6

Volume VI of Mihachi Kagano's *Ad Astra: Scipion l'Africain & Hannibal Barca* delivers another striking cover from Ki-oon's seinen line — a close, wind-swept portrait of a pale-haired warrior whose face is flecked with blood, pale eyes cutting through the chaos with unsettling calm. The billowing golden hair and deep crimson tones give the image a fierce, almost elemental energy that captures the brutal grandeur of the Punic Wars era this series inhabits. If you've been following Rome's clash with Carthage through Kagano's beautifully rendered pages, this 2015 volume is an essential next chapter.
