Ultime Frontière #1

The opening episode of Ultime Frontière arrives from writer Leo and artist Icar with a cover that immediately sets the tone: a man and a woman stand back-to-back on a barren landscape, weapons drawn, as bloodied flying drones scatter around them and towering alien spires loom in the background. Icar's linework is sharp and assured, balancing gritty tension with a wide-open sense of alien wilderness. If this 2014 Dargaud series is new to you, Episode 1 is a fine place to step into what promises to be a bold sci-fi adventure.
