Kolonisatie #6

The sixth chapter of Kolonisatie arrives with a cover that stops you cold — a spider-like spacecraft hovers before a vast gas giant, surrounded by a jagged field of shattered ice crystals that frame the scene with both beauty and menace. Filippi and Cucca have built something genuinely compelling in this series, and this 2022 installment, subtitled "Dood Spoor," shows Cucca's art at its most atmospherically ambitious. If sweeping science fiction set against the grandeur of deep space is your thing, this Dutch-language album deserves a place on your shelf.
