Mille Visages #4

The fourth volume of Mille Visages arrives with a striking cover that sets a dark, apocalyptic tone — a gaunt, demonic figure spreads its arms triumphantly amid roaring walls of flame, a burning cityscape visible in the background. Titled Larmes de Cendres (Tears of Ashes), this 2006 release from Les Humanoïdes Associés promises the kind of brooding, atmospheric storytelling the series by Males and Thirault does so well. If you've been following this saga, the imagery alone makes clear that the stakes have never felt higher.
