Rio #4

Against a smoldering red sky with a dense favela sprawling behind him, a young man raises two assault rifles overhead, a walkie-talkie clipped at his waist and a beaded necklace at his throat — Corentin Rouge's cover for Rio #4 is tense and arresting. Writer Louise Garcia and artist Corentin Rouge bring this 2019 Glénat series to its fourth chapter, subtitled Ieder voor zich ("Every Man for Himself"), and the cover alone makes the stakes feel immediate and personal. A compelling entry in what has proven to be a sharp, atmospheric thriller set against one of the world's most vivid urban backdrops.
