Catamount #3

A lone figure carrying a torch faces an enormous totem-like structure crowned by a great bird with wings spread wide, deep in a fog-shrouded forest alive with circling ravens — it's the kind of cover that pulls you in before you've even opened the book. Benjamin Blanco Martinez and Albert Bonneau bring a brooding, mythic atmosphere to this third volume of Catamount, subtitled La Justice des Corbeaux, blending frontier grit with something older and far more unsettling. If 2019's Franco-Belgian Western scene needed a series willing to go somewhere genuinely dark and strange, this is it.
