La tuerie #[nn]

A striking pink cover sets an unsettling tone for La Tuerie, presenting a clinical butcher's diagram of a cow — complete with numbered cut designations grading meat by quality — that feels more like a quiet provocation than a typical comics cover. From Les Arènes BD, this 2019 French-language work brings together Laurent Galandon and Nicolas Otero in what promises to be a story with sharp edges beneath its deceptively calm exterior. The cool, graphic simplicity of the image lingers in the mind long after you've set it down.
