Game Over #15

Volume 15 of Midam, Adam, and Patelin's Game Over promises exactly the chaos its subtitle — Very Bad Trip — delivers, with a grinning, bulbous creature that has apparently swallowed a hot-air balloon whole, its tentacles sending two hapless riders flying through a sunny sky. The cover's broad slapstick energy captures everything fans love about this long-running Franco-Belgian gag series: bright colors, rubber-limbed mayhem, and the unmistakable sense that someone's afternoon is going very, very wrong. A cheerful 2016 addition to the collection.
