The First #14
In "I came to the rock that bears your face hoping for a message, Altwaal, but you deny me," writer Barbara Kesel and artist Bart Sears deliver a tense, character-driven chapter in The First series, where Gannish reveals a startling truth about Earth’s orange-sigil bearers—older than the First themselves. With Braag and Seahn devising a dangerous plan to kill Pyrem without Ingra’s approval, Seahn confronts Pyrem in a high-stakes duel, the outcome deciding the fate of House Dexter. The cover by Bart Sears and Andy Smith captures the weight of that moment, while the interior art by Sears and inks by Smith bring the emotional and political stakes vividly to life.
