Mermaid Project #2

The second episode of Mermaid Project pulls you deeper into its waterlogged near-future world, with Fred Simon's cover depicting three divers in black wetsuits moving cautiously along a narrow industrial walkway — flooded corridors, drifting lily pads, and an eerie, partially submerged environment stretching out around them, a shark gliding silently past in the background. The atmosphere is tense and quietly unsettling, balancing human fragility against a world that has clearly been reclaimed by water. With Leo and Corine Jamar's storytelling paired with Simon's detailed linework, this Dargaud series delivers thoughtful science-fiction that rewards careful attention.
