Lastman

In the gritty, boxing-obsessed town of Paquetá, Lastman (2013–present, Casterman) follows the intertwined fates of a washed-up fighter, a young boy seeking his missing father, and a mysterious stranger with a hidden past. This three-issue series, crafted by French creators Balak, Bastien Vivès, and Michaël Sanlaville, blends martial arts, fantasy, and neo-noir into a visually kinetic, emotionally charged story. A standout in modern European comics, it launched a sprawling multimedia franchise while remaining a tight, self-contained entry point for new readers.
