Shaolin #1

A young Shaolin monk takes center stage on this striking cover, fists raised and expression fierce, with a towering multi-tiered pagoda rising dramatically behind him — it's an immediate, visceral promise of martial arts storytelling. Writer Di Giorgio and artist Looky launch the series with L'Enfant du destin ("Child of Destiny"), and that title feels perfectly matched to the determined young warrior staring you down. If you've ever wanted a bande dessinée that plunges you straight into the world of ancient Chinese martial arts training and tradition, this 2020 Soleil opener looks like a genuinely compelling place to start.
