Alix

A modern revival of the classic European adventure series, Alix (2018–present, Casterman) follows the exploits of the titular Gaulish hero as he navigates the intrigues and dangers of the ancient world. This 20-issue run builds on the legacy of the original series, with a focus on historical detail and sweeping, cinematic storytelling. The series is most associated with writer Valérie Mangin and artist Chrys Millien, who bring a contemporary energy to the beloved character's journeys. It matters as a key example of how a classic Franco-Belgian comic can be refreshed for a new generation while honoring its roots.
