Animal Kingdom #12

Volume 12 of Makoto Raiku's *Animal Kingdom* brings a striking close-up of a pale, sharp-eyed character holding what appears to be a snake coiled around their bandaged hand, the creature's red-tinged head raised right at the viewer — an image that radiates quiet menace and magnetic intensity. Published in 2015 by Ki-oon under their Kids imprint, this French edition captures the series' wild, unpredictable energy in a single unsettling gaze. Fans of the series will find plenty to anticipate in a volume that wears its tension right on the cover.
