Les Exilés d'Asceltis #2

The second volume of Les Exilés d'Asceltis — subtitled Le Fils d'Obion — plunges deeper into this French fantasy saga with a cover that commands attention: a lone, muscular young warrior stands defiant on a rocky ledge, surrounded on all sides by a menacing array of massive, snarling dragon-like creatures with fangs bared and claws raised. The contrast between the solitary human figure and the towering beasts pressing in around him sets a gripping tone of courage against overwhelming odds. Published by Soleil in 2008, this volume promises the kind of sweeping, myth-infused adventure that made Franco-Belgian fantasy comics so compelling during that era.
