R.U.S.T. #3

The concluding volume of R.U.S.T. arrives with a striking cover that pulls in three distinct visual worlds at once — a young woman with a composed, searching expression at center, a radiant burst of luminous golden-green energy to her left, and a pair of vivid, otherworldly creatures swimming through shadowy depths below. Blending and Nesskain bring a lush, painterly quality to this final chapter, subtitled White Strike, that feels genuinely earned after two volumes of world-building. Published by Éditions Delcourt in 2016, it's a visually confident close to a series that wears its ambition beautifully.
