The First #2

In the second issue of *The First*, Obo-san wields the weapon of Atwaal, threatening the very foundation of the First, while Trenin’s hunting party flees to Elysia to face the aftermath of Kerspan’s death and the loss of the weapon. As tensions rise, Seahn’s growing desire to reshape House Dexter catches the attention of Ingra, a key figure in House Sinister. Meanwhile, Persha uncovers a crucial clue in Nayado—realizing the sigil is a fusion of both houses, pointing toward a long-forgotten unity between Elysia’s warring factions. Written by Barbara Kesel and illustrated by Bart Sears, with inks by Andy Smith, colors by Michael Atiyeh, and letters by Dave Lanphear, the cover by Sears and Smith captures the escalating stakes of this pivotal chapter.
