Koma #6

The sixth and final volume of Wazem and Peeters' Koma arrives with a quietly arresting cover: an open book filled page after page with tally marks, rendered in Frederik Peeters' clean, spare linework against a stark white background. Subtitled "Au commencement" — "In the Beginning" — the image carries a haunting sense of time counted, endured, or perhaps lost. With script by Pierre Wazem and colors by Albertine Ralenti, this concluding chapter of the series promises the kind of understated yet deeply felt storytelling that has defined Koma throughout its run.
