CIRCUS MAXIMUS #3 (OF 5)
Description
The crew has pulled off the greatest heist in the ancient world—stealing Rome's treasury from beneath the Temple of Saturn. Yet with their loot comes dangerous evidence that Nero ordered the Great Fire, a revelation that could topple emperors and ignite civil war. In Circus Maximus #3, Mark Sable threads a blistering historical thriller where political intrigue, risk, and ambition collide as Rome spirals toward disaster. Giorgio Pontrelli's kinetic art fuels the action with bold, cinematic panels, while Paul Azaceta's cover hints at the looming betrayal and high-stakes consequences. As Nero closes in, the crew must decide whether to leak their knowledge, risk capture, or vanish into the smoke and ash of a city that won't forget. This installment deepens the saga of loyalty, danger, and the price of truth in a Rome ruled by spectacle and power.
