Blast

Blast (2011–2015) is a four-issue Finnish comic series from publisher WSOY, notable for its compact, self-contained storytelling. The series explores the psychological unraveling of its protagonist, a man whose life spirals into chaos after a violent incident. Writer and artist Manu Larcenet crafted this intense, critically acclaimed work, which stands as a powerful example of European graphic literature's ability to delve into dark, introspective themes. Its significance lies in its unflinching portrayal of mental decline and the stark, expressive artwork that amplifies the narrative's tension.
