Eclipse #3

The third volume of Ozanam and Vastra's Eclipse series arrives with a striking image: a massive, skull-like mechanical head dominates a darkened planet, its glowing red eyes radiating menace while a fleet of sharp, angular spacecraft swarms through the debris-filled void around it. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2009, this French science-fiction series continues to blend brooding cosmic atmosphere with sharp design sensibility. Subtitled Schwarz, this chapter promises the kind of grand, shadowy space opera that the series has been building toward.
