Prométhée #20

The cover of Prométhée Tome 20, La Citadelle, sets an immediate tone of dread and awe — a colossal, spider-legged alien machine looms from a stormy sky above a city already glowing with the orange light of fires below. Christophe Bec and Jean Diaz have crafted a series known for its ambitious science-fiction scope, and this 2019 installment from Soleil looks every bit as visually commanding as that reputation suggests. If apocalyptic scale and unsettling extraterrestrial imagery are your thing, this volume belongs on your shelf.
