King of Eden #2

Volume 2 of King of Eden sets a chilling tone right from its cover: a pale, bare foot steps through a stark white expanse streaked with blood and what appear to be animal claw marks, the imagery spare yet deeply unsettling. Scénariste Takashi Nagasaki and dessinateur Ignito craft an atmosphere of primal dread that feels both human and something altogether wilder. Published by Ki-oon in 2018 under their seinen imprint, this volume promises the kind of tense, visceral storytelling that makes you want to read it with the lights on.
