Dreamland #9

Volume 9 of Réno Lemaire's Dreamland brings the arc subtitled "Tattoo" to life with a cover that packs in the full ensemble — a wide-eyed red-haired boy front and center, flanked by a blue-haired fighter, a pink-haired girl in leopard print, and looming large above them all, a fierce golden-toned powerhouse thrusting a fist straight at the reader. Published by Pika Édition in 2010, this French manga series delivers the kinetic, character-rich energy the series is known for. If you've been following the crew, this ninth volume looks like it raises the stakes considerably.
