Mutations #2

The cover of this second volume from the creative team of Leo, Corine Jamar, and Fred Simon sets an immediately striking tone: a sleek black submarine glides through icy Arctic waters while a remarkable swarm of orcas — large and small — wheels and swoops around it like an aerial escort frozen in time. The sheer number of killer whales, rendered with clean precision by Fred Simon, gives the image an almost surreal energy that sits somewhere between wonder and unease. Mutations Deel 2 (2020, Dargaud) promises a story where the boundaries between the natural world and human technology are anything but fixed.
