Nils #2

The second volume of Hamon and Carrion's Nils arrives with "Cyan," and Carrion's cover alone makes a striking case for the series' visual ambition. A lone cloaked figure stands before towering ornate gates beneath a deep blue, moonlit sky, surrounded by dark winged creatures in flight — an atmosphere that feels both elegiac and quietly ominous. It's a beautifully rendered 2017 entry in this French fantasy series that rewards anyone drawn to moody, atmospheric sequential art.
