KYRIE #14
by Matt Crotts
A curious band of thieves and cutthroats attempt to outsmart the North African authorities, while navigating their own dark and competing desires as outlaws of a dying Roman Empire.
In this issue, Valerian and Gallienus prepare to leave Alexandria, while Marcus and Myra dig up a bit of their past on their way to a strange and dangerous frontier town.
“This is one of those rare, wonderful tales in which you can revel in the surface – the beautiful, evocative colours, the movement and character of the sublime linework – but at the same time there is something beneath, pulling you deeper into the story with every panel, taking you on a journey that conjures anticipation and promises excitement – a perfect recipe for adventure. Matt Crotts has created a world that is tinted with magic yet also feels historically real and alive – it’s a joy to get lost in. KYRIE is a real treasure.” – Garen Ewing, creator of THE RAINBOW ORCHID
“Matt Crotts uses beautiful drawing, dynamic storytelling, and a well-researched blend of history and legend to bring the ancient border between empires to vibrant life. KYRIE is definitely a comic to watch.” – Chris Schweizer, creator of THE CROGAN ADVENTURES |
