La Chronique des Immortels #7

Set against a stormy, cross-shadowed sky, this seventh volume of La Chronique des Immortels presents a gripping tableau: a kneeling figure clutches a glowing, otherworldly flame while a gaunt, spectral figure looms upright behind him — the tension between them quietly electric. Subtitled Le Coup de Grâce, the album promises a story at a pivotal, perhaps final threshold, brought to life through Chaiko's atmospheric painted cover art from a script by von Eckartsberg, adapting Wolfgang Hohlbein's beloved series. Published by Editions Paquet in 2016, this French-language volume is a compelling entry in one of continental comics' most engrossing dark-fantasy series.
