King City #1

Brandon Scott Graham's King City arrives with a cover that sets the tone perfectly — a laid-back but visually dense tableau of a shaggy-haired young man, a helmeted figure in bulky gear, a woman with striking red hair, and a very prominent cat, all lounging together against a bright sky with a distant airplane overhead. Tokyopop's 2010 release of this imaginative series promises a world where the strange and the casual coexist in effortless style. If you're drawn to comics that feel lived-in and genuinely inventive, this French edition from Bragelonne is a great place to start.
