Negalyod #[1]

Vincent Perriot's Negalyod opens with a breathtaking visual contrast: a lone rider mounted on a blue dinosaur-like creature picks their way across sun-baked, rust-colored badlands, while far above, an impossibly vast city of towers and platforms looms in the hazy sky. The tension between that weathered, earthbound traveler and the colossal floating metropolis sets up a science-fiction world that already feels richly layered and full of scale. Published by Casterman in 2018, this is the kind of bande dessinée that makes you stop and just look before turning a single page.
