Groo: Play of the Gods #3

Sergio Aragonés packs the cover of this third installment with gloriously chaotic energy — Groo himself dominates the foreground, scowling with sword raised and his faithful dog Rufferto at his side, while behind them an enormous crowd of elaborately costumed, Mesoamerican-inspired warriors and priests fills every inch of a stone wall. The sheer density of expressively rendered characters, each with their own distinct regalia and reaction, is a testament to Aragonés' endlessly inventive pen. Groo: Play of the Gods #3 delivers that beloved mix of swords, spectacle, and sardonic wit that has made this series such a treat in 2017.
