Gideon Falls #2

A massive murmuration of birds swirls against a pale, unsettling sky above a lone vehicle on a dark road — Andrea Sorrentino's cover for this second volume of Jeff Lemire's Gideon Falls is quietly haunting in the best possible way. The French-language edition, subtitled Péché Originel ("Original Sin"), collects the series from Urban Comics' Indies imprint, and this image alone signals the kind of rural dread the title does so well. If you're drawn to atmospheric, small-town mystery with a genuinely eerie sensibility, this 2019 collection deserves a place on your shelf.
