Parasites #2

Stan Silas's Parasites continues with this second volume, subtitled Olga — and the cover makes a bold statement right away. A fierce, red-haired girl in a military-style outfit levels an oversized double-barreled gun straight at the viewer, her expression all steel and determination, while a shadowy horde of dark figures looms in the background behind her. Published by Emmanuel Proust in 2018, this is the kind of survival-charged graphic novel that draws you in with its stylish cartooning and promises serious tension between one defiant young fighter and whatever is closing in on her.
