Before the conquering eye of the Menin turns in his direction Emin must take his chance and strike without mercy.<\/p>\n<p>A showdown is coming and battle lines are drawn as blood is spilled across the Land.

It&#8217;s also no secret that I feel he&#8217;s been a bit overworked the past couple of years, giving his work an inconsistent quality. Luckily for Lloyd, he seems to have caught Lockwood on the upswing, with some quality artwork (reminiscent of <a href=\"https:\/\/aidanmoher.com\/blog\/2007\/12\/asides\/an-aside-cover-art-for-the-divine-talisman\/\">Lockwood&#8217;s work<\/a> on Eldon Thompson&#8217;s <strong>The Divine Talisman<\/strong>).
