Konungar: War of the Crowns #[nn]

Bathed in a sweeping blue palette, this 2018 Titan release from Sylvain Runberg and Juzhen plunges readers into Norse-flavored political conflict right from its striking cover. Dominating the image is the massive, bearded face of a helmeted warrior-king looming like a storm over the landscape, while a muscular armored figure strides boldly through the ruins below — the tension between these two presences setting the tone for the crown-level stakes promised by the title. Konungar: War of Crowns looks to be a grand, atmospheric saga of rival powers and hard-fought ambition.
