Uchronie[s] - New York #2

The second volume of Corbeyran and Djillali Defali's alternate-history series "Uchronie[s] – New York" arrives with a cover steeped in an unsettling golden haze: a young woman sits in the grass, a pistol resting in her hand, while a heavyset man stands warily behind her, both framed by suburban trees and a quiet house that feels anything but safe. Defali's moody, monochromatic artwork sets a tense, contemplative tone that suits the "Résonances" chapter perfectly. Published by Glénat in 2009, this is thoughtful French genre storytelling at its most atmospheric.
