La Meute #[nn]

Two young faces lean toward each other across the warm glow of a crackling campfire, the dark silhouette of a forest pressing in behind them — it's an image that immediately sets a mood of intimacy shadowed by something wilder and less certain. La Meute, brought to Futuropolis by Aude Samama and Cyril Herry, promises the kind of French graphic novel that knows how to balance quiet human connection with an atmosphere that feels just a little dangerous. At 22,00 EUR, this 2023 release looks like a genuinely compelling addition to any shelf that appreciates atmospheric, character-driven bande dessinée.
