Epoch #5

The five-issue Heroes and Villains Entertainment miniseries from Top Cow and Image reaches its conclusion here, and the cover makes a striking case for the journey. A winged warrior in gleaming silver-and-gold armor stands triumphant, massive white wings spread wide, one fist crackling with energy as a monstrous fallen figure lies defeated at his feet — with further combatants lurking in the fiery background. Writer Kevin McCarthy, artist Paolo Pantalena, and colorist Bill Farmer deliver a cover that channels genuine mythic scale, wrapping up this 2012 series on a confident, visually ambitious note.
