Terminus 1 #1

Part of the "Les Univers de Stefan Wul" collection, this French sci-fi album from Ankama brings together writer Serge Le Tendre and artist Jean-Michel Ponzio for the opening chapter of Terminus 1, subtitled L'Homme à la Valise. The cover sets an immediately mysterious tone: a young woman lies still with eyes closed, bathed in cool blue light, while a reaching hand above her emanates a swirling luminous energy that seems to touch — or perhaps alter — her very mind. It's a quietly arresting image that balances tenderness and unease, promising the kind of thoughtful, visually polished science fiction that the Stefan Wul legacy inspires.
