La Déconfiture #2

Pascal Rabaté's La Déconfiture concludes with this second part from Futuropolis, and the cover alone sets a quietly haunting tone. A lone soldier walks away down a road lined with abandoned vehicles, while a group of figures — backs turned, seemingly civilians — watch from the foreground beneath a sky burning deep red. Rendered in Rabaté's spare, ink-driven style with that striking crimson wash, this 2018 volume promises the same understated yet emotionally resonant storytelling that made the first part so compelling.
