Méta-Baron #4

Niko Henrichon's cover for this fourth volume of the Meta-Baron saga fixes your attention immediately on Simak the Transhuman — a scarred, cybernetically augmented figure whose flesh and machine components blend in unsettling detail, one hand crackling with energy against a backdrop of colossal warships looming over a desolate, battle-scarred landscape. Written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jerry Frissen, this 2017 installment from Les Humanoïdes Associés continues the sprawling science-fantasy mythology in grand style. If you've been following this brutal, visionary series, "Simak Le Transhumain" promises exactly the kind of transhuman strangeness the title delivers.
