The Dying and the Dead #1

Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Bodenheim's ambitious series arrives in French from Glénat with this striking first volume. The cover presents a weathered, determined man gripping a staff or spear in the foreground, a white-haired woman with a weapon at his side, the two figures set against a warm amber horizon with a bare, gnarled tree in the distance. It's a mood-rich opening image that signals something mythic and hard-edged is underway.
