Renaissance #1

A lone figure in a white spacesuit walks down a deserted highway toward a horizon consumed by fire and smoke, while an enormous angular spacecraft looms ominously overhead — it's the kind of image that makes you stop and stare. Published by Dargaud in 2018, Renaissance #1: "Les déracinés" introduces writer Fred Duval and artist Emem's science-fiction vision with striking confidence. Emem's cover alone — all deep night sky, burning orange light, and that vast, threatening ship — sets a tone of quiet dread and grand scale that promises something genuinely absorbing.
