CIRCUS MAXIMUS #4 (OF 5)

Ancient Rome is burning to the ground, and citizens blame Emperor Nero for the chaos he’s unleashed. In Circus Maximus #4, writer Mark Sable and artist Giorgio Pontrelli deepen the street-level drama as Nero relentlessly pursues the thieves who robbed the Temple of Saturn and stole the plans for his new palace—proof that the emperor himself may be behind the fire. Wounded and hunted by the Praetorian Guard, the daring crew behind the heist races against time as flames close in and crucifixion looms for their crimes. Paul Azaceta contributes a moody cover that sets the brutal, sun-baked Rome mood. This is the penultimate chapter in a five-issue arc that blends historical intrigue with pulse-pounding action, weaving political machinations with daring caper storytelling in a vivid, cinematic graphic novel experience.
