Gevangen #2

A determined young woman strides front and center on Olivier Ormière's cover for this second volume from Daedalus, a long-barreled rifle in her hands and a dense, misty forest at her back. Four rugged companions fan out behind her — one already raising his own weapon — suggesting a group braced for confrontation in some wild, historical wilderness. With writing by François Rivière and Frank Vanzeer and art brought to life by colorist Silvia Fabris's muted greens and grays, Gevangen #2 looks like a compelling piece of historical adventure comics from 2024.
