Grass Kings #3

Three figures stand in a wide-open rural landscape — muted watercolor washes of pale sky, golden grass, and distant autumn trees giving the scene a quietly melancholic weight. Matt Kindt, Tyler Jenkins, and Hilary Jenkins bring their Eisner-nominated series to its third volume with this Boom! Studios collection, and the subdued, atmospheric cover art perfectly captures the series' mood of tension simmering beneath everyday stillness. If you've been following the story of these reluctant kings of the grasslands, Volume Three promises the kind of earned, grounded storytelling that made this series an award conversation piece in 2018.
