Canto III: Lionhearted #4

The little clockwork hero Canto stands resolute in the foreground, his clock-face visage determined, while a towering skull-masked, horned figure looms behind him — fist raised and dripping red in a chilling display of menace against a snow-swept sky. The contrast between Canto's small but steadfast frame and this imposing antagonist captures everything that makes this series so compelling: heart up against overwhelming odds. Booher, Zucker, Astone, and Andworld deliver another beautifully crafted chapter in this 2021 IDW miniseries that wears its emotion right on its sleeve.
