Neuro, le Mange-Mystères #1

The French edition of Yusei Matsui's supernatural mystery manga arrives with an immediately striking cover: a sharp-suited figure plunges headfirst toward the viewer, rendered in cool blues and purples against a circuit-board backdrop, clawed hands outstretched with an unsettling elegance. Published by Glénat in 2008 under the subtitle La faim encéphalique ("Brain Hunger"), this first volume introduces Neuro, le Mange-Mystères to French-language readers with a visual that's equal parts stylish and eerie. Matsui's bold linework and the deliberately disorienting composition make this an opener that's hard to look away from.
