Héros du peuple #2

Against a blazing red-and-gold backdrop, a cool-suited figure stands armed and alert in the foreground while a dramatic confrontation unfolds on an ornate bridge behind him — a caped figure in white faces off against a massive armored red mech surrounded by a swarm of smaller enemies. Héros du peuple: Le Dernier Maruta is a French-language action adventure from Hautière, Boutin-Gagné, and Vatine (Comix Buro, 2019) that wears its pulpy, cinematic ambitions proudly on its sleeve. The wide-screen composition and vivid color work make this second volume an immediate visual treat for fans of Franco-Belgian genre comics with an East Asian-inspired flair.
