Blacksad #7

Díaz Canales and Guarnido bring their richly atmospheric anthropomorphic noir back for Alors, tout tombe – Seconde partie, the concluding half of this two-part arc. Guarnido's cover is a moody standout: a stylish cat-woman in a plaid dress, trench coat, and pink-framed glasses strides forward in what looks like an industrial interior — a curved iron structure looming behind her — while a hunched, long-coated bird figure lurks in the background and a suited arm reaches in from the left edge. It's a beautifully composed snapshot of tension and mid-century atmosphere that reminds us why Blacksad has remained one of European comics' most visually rewarding series well into 2023.
