Prisonnier Riku #19

Volume 19 of Prisonnier Riku arrives from Éditions Akata with a cover that commands attention: a intense, bare-chested young man stares down the reader while a sinuous green dragon coils dramatically around him, its scales rendered in striking detail by Shinobu Seguchi. Subtitled Baroud d'honneur, this 2017 installment promises high-stakes tension as the series continues its gritty, hard-edged story. Seguchi's linework is on full display here, blending raw physicality with vivid creature design in a way that makes it very easy to keep reading.
