Yoshitaka Amano's Hero

Hero's adventure continues when he steps through the Carousel Arch in Paris. Only moments after realizing his weapon has transformed into a walking stick, it is stolen by a little girl who runs into the crowd, disappearing from sight. Hero is led to the Hotel Realto and the haunted survivors of a tragedy. A puzzling man named Bertram sends Hero searching in an ancient cemetery, a dangerous city of the dead where he meets writer Victor Noir, assassinated in the past and doomed to tell the truth in Hero's present. The Lady is tantalizingly close, but shape-changing Rudra means to ambush Hero and Victor. The Cyborg leads a dangerous escape through the torturous catacombs of Paris, their only hope an arch as ancient and mysterious as time itself.
