Légendes de Troy - Nuit Safran #2

Part of Soleil's sprawling Légendes de Troy universe, this second volume of Nuit Safran — subtitled La Vengeance d'Albumen — signals right away that things are getting fierce. The cover, by Melanyn and Hérenguël, dominates with a hulking, wolf-like beast crouching in a tense, blood-spattered scene, clutching what appears to be a blade or claw while snarling with unmistakable menace. With a creative team that includes Arleston, Melanyn, and Hérenguël, this 2012 release promises the rich fantasy atmosphere and vivid creature design that makes the Troy universe such a compelling corner of French comics.
