Uchronie[s] - New Beijing #1

The opening volume of Corbeyran and Aurélien Morinière's alternate-history series imagines a world where Beijing's imperial architecture looms behind a skyline of towering brutalist skyscrapers bathed in a striking amber haze. At the center of Richard Guérineau's cover stands a stern, silver-haired man flanked by two younger figures in military-style uniforms, the whole composition radiating an atmosphere of authority and quiet tension. Published by Glénat in 2012, New Beijing – Tome 1 promises a thought-provoking blend of Eastern and Western dystopian imagery that makes it a compelling entry point into the Uchronie[s] universe.
