Soil

A darkly whimsical science-fantasy series from French publisher Ankama, Soil ran for 11 issues between 2011 and 2012, blending ecological themes with surreal, often unsettling imagery. The story follows a young boy named Joon who discovers a mysterious, living soil that can reshape the world around him, setting off a strange and perilous journey. Created by the same team behind the Dofus universe, the series is notable for its lush, painterly art style and its thoughtful, sometimes melancholic exploration of nature, identity, and belonging.
