Shangri-La #[nn]

Mathieu Bablet's science-fiction vision gets a striking showcase here, with a lone armored figure tumbling silently through the upper atmosphere, the curved arc of a planet's horizon glowing below and the vast black of space stretching above. That image of one small, vulnerable form adrift between worlds sets a quietly arresting tone for this 2016 Ankama release. With every element of the work — writing, art, inking, and color — handled by Bablet himself, Shangri-La carries an unmistakably personal vision from the very first glance.
