Volume II, penned by Kristin Baver, promises to immerse fans in behind-the-scenes artwork from the sprawling universe of The High Republic. We’re talking character sketches, creature designs, ship blueprints, and exclusive content that spans both Phase II and the upcoming Phase III of this multimedia storytelling venture.
A First Look at the Final Cover
The finalized cover for Volume II is a visual treat, featuring familiar faces like Avar Kriss, Bell Zettifar, and Vernestra Rwoh, looking ready to take on the Nameless—the eerie, fear-inducing antagonists of the series.
