Le pouvoir des Innocents - (Cycle III - Les enfants de Jessica) #2

The second volume of Les enfants de Jessica — subtitled Jours de Deuil — arrives with a cover image that sets an immediately somber tone: a dense crowd of mourners hoisting a coffin overhead against a bleak, desolate cityscape rendered in muted golds and grays. Brunschwig and Hirn bring a painterly gravity to this scene of collective grief, making the sheer mass of bodies feel both overwhelming and deeply human. Published by Futuropolis in 2012, this first-edition hardcover even includes a bonus cahier graphique, a welcome extra for anyone drawn to the creative process behind such striking visual storytelling.
