Codex Black #2

Rooted in Mesoamerican mythology and visual splendor, Codex Black: Book Two — A Bird of Ill Omen presents a cover alive with ceremonial regalia, rich earth tones, and the energy of young heroes ready for whatever the gods have in store. Two determined young figures stand front and center — one gripping an imposing macuahuitl war club, the other with fists raised — while an elaborately adorned, larger figure looms above them against a backdrop of feathers, sunbursts, and intricate geometric stonework. IDW's 2024 release continues to make a compelling case that Mesoamerican-inspired fantasy deserves a permanent home on your shelf.
