Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #21

Dynamite's adaptation of Robert Jordan's beloved fantasy epic reaches issue #21, and the cover by Andie Tong puts the tension front and center — a dark-cloaked swordsman looms over a fallen, long-haired figure, while a second hooded attacker wielding an axe closes in from the right and armored warriors with a torch appear in the background. The sense of desperate peril radiating from the scene captures exactly the kind of high-stakes menace that makes The Eye of the World so compelling. With Robert Jordan and Chuck Dixon scripting and Andie Tong handling both pencils and inks, this 2012 issue continues to be a faithful and visually dynamic journey through one of fantasy's most beloved stories.
