→ [Sens] #[nn]

Marc-Antoine Mathieu's → [Sens], published by Delcourt in 2014, is a quietly arresting work from the French auteur who both writes and draws every element. The cover — a large black arrow pointing right above a framed panel showing a lone figure from behind, wearing a grey fedora — sets the tone beautifully: minimalist, directional, and full of quiet philosophical intent. If you appreciate comics that treat the medium itself as the message, this is one to seek out.
