Alice Matheson #5

The fifth volume of this French post-apocalyptic series from Soleil delivers a cover that sets a visceral, unrelenting tone: a heavily armored, dark-haired man stands in a blood-splattered elevator, weapon raised, bodies of zombie-like figures crumpled at his feet. Writers Jean-Luc Istin and Stéphane Betbeder, alongside artists Lucio Leoni and Emanuela Negrin, bring a claustrophobic intensity to "Les obsessions de Sam Gibbs" that suggests the series is pushing its survival horror premise to new extremes. If this chapter is anything like its cover promises, readers of the Alice Matheson saga are in for a relentlessly tense installment.
