Battue

A tense, single-issue debut from 2020, Battue is a French comic from 6 Pieds Sous Terre that drops readers into a stark, rural hunting ground where the line between predator and prey blurs. The story follows a group of hunters whose annual tradition takes a violent, unexpected turn, exploring themes of survival and primal instinct with a raw, atmospheric edge. This series marks a stark entry in contemporary European genre comics, distinguished by its immediate, self-contained narrative and its publisher's reputation for gritty, offbeat storytelling.
