Uchronie(s) New Byzance #3

Three figures stride forward beneath the massive steel cables of what appears to be the Brooklyn Bridge, their long coats and masked or weathered faces lending the scene a brooding, post-apocalyptic weight — Éric Chabbert's cover art bathes the whole composition in smoky crimson tones that feel both ominous and cinematic. This third chapter of Corbeyran and Chabbert's Uchronie(s) – New Byzance series, subtitled "Realiteiten," promises a world that is familiar yet deeply unsettled. If the first two volumes drew you in, this 2010 entry looks set to deepen the mystery considerably.
