Choujin X #2

Volume 2 of Sui Ishida's Choujin X, published by Glénat in 2022, arrives with a striking cover that says everything with restraint — a young figure in a sleeveless top and elbow-length gloves leaps upward against a vivid blue sky, while a dark, ink-like mass splashed with gold churns beneath them. The tension between that bright, open sky and the shadowy form below gives the image a quietly unsettling beauty that's very much Ishida's signature. A compelling next step for anyone already drawn into this series.
