Game Over #19

The nineteenth volume of Midam, Adam, and Patelin's long-running gag series arrives with a cover that perfectly captures its gleefully unhinged humor: a massive, bulging-eyed monster lurks half-buried in a skull-littered wasteland, its enormous maw wide open while a long pink tongue stretches toward a tiny, wide-eyed fairy-like character floating just out of reach. The subtitle "Beauty Trap" gets a wonderfully absurd visual treatment here — danger has rarely looked this cartoonishly irresistible. Dupuis keeps the laughs coming in 2020 with this latest helping of video-game-flavored chaos.
