Slade finds himself wrenched from the icy jaws of death by the only thing worse than a sworn enemy: an old friend who knows all his greatest shames and darkest secrets. Secrets that hold the true origin of the Allwinter, that he’ll have to face down if he ever hopes to set things right. The question that lies before the bloody mercenary is not whether he can…but whether he will.
While the synopsis alone is intriguing, it’s Homare’s variant cover, featuring Rose Wilson, that stands out. As of August 19,Ravager has yet to make her debut in the series, but Homare’s cover strongly suggests her imminent appearance.

As previously noted,Rose’s Viking redesignwas initially teased in a variant cover by Skylar Patridge forDark Knights of Steel: Allwinter#3. While Patridge’s cover showcased a striking headshot of Ravager’s viking-inspired look, it only offered a glimpse of the design. Hence, Homare’s full-body art is a welcome addition, especially for cosplayers eager to replicate the costume. Alongside the previously revealed bisected black and orange helm with antlers,Homare’s design features a sleek, tight-fitting silver chainmail long-sleeve shirt, black leather pants, fur-lined boots, and two prominent circular shield-like chest protectors.
The minimalist design works exceptionally well for Rose, maintaining her recognizable identity as Ravager whileintroducing a Viking-inspired twist that complements the dark fantasy setting without being overly flamboyant.The practical and functional nature of the armor raises anticipation for its narrative debut, where fans are likely to see it in action during the brutal battle scenes that have characterized the series so far. Additionally,it will be particularly intriguing to see Rose’s role in the story—whether she will be fighting alongside her father or against him.
