La main d'Horus #2

The second volume of Tatsuya Seki's La Main d'Horus makes an immediate impression with its cover — a brooding extreme close-up of a man's intense, shadowed face rendered in moody green tones that radiate quiet menace. Seki's draftsmanship is on full display here, capturing raw tension in every carefully etched line. If this striking image is any indication, this 2014 Komikku Éditions release delivers the kind of atmospheric manga that stays with you long after you've set it down.
