Koma #3

The third volume of Wazem and Peeters' atmospheric Koma series arrives with a cover that immediately commands attention: a massive, crouching dark creature with glowing yellow eyes dominates a rain-slicked rooftop, its reflection shimmering ominously in the pooled water below, while a small human figure watches cautiously from the shadows nearby. Frederik Peeters' cover linework is precise and evocative, balancing the looming otherworldly threat against a gritty, neon-tinged urban backdrop. Subtitled "Wie im Wilden Westen" — Like in the Wild West — this 2012 Reprodukt edition promises the same moody blend of science fiction and street-level tension that has made this Belgian series so compelling.
