Renaissance #3

Two figures stand in the middle of a quiet, almost eerily still small-town street, gazing up at a massive, jagged coral-red structure that erupts from the heart of the town like something between crystal growth and ancient ruin. The contrast between that unsettling organic monolith and the ordinary roadside scenery — utility poles, parked trucks, a water tower — gives this third volume of Renaissance a quietly haunting tension. Created by F. Duval, Emem, and F. Blanchard, Permafrost promises a science fiction story that finds the extraordinary embedded in the deeply familiar.
