Jungle urbaine #[nn]

Wild vines curl through crumbling stonework as two young protagonists — a confident young woman navigating the overgrown rubble in the foreground and a more cautious figure in a yellow jacket surveying the scene behind her — face a city reclaimed by nature. The cover of Jungle Urbaine, by Viozat, Kmiye, and Dema-Loiz, sets a compelling tone: part urban adventure, part ecological wonder, with a grand old building half-swallowed by lush tropical growth stretching into the sky. If the promise of 2021 French-language comics with a fresh, green-tinted twist on city life appeals to you, this Editions Jungle release looks like an exciting place to start.
