Aquarica #2

A young woman drifts weightlessly through a luminous underwater world, surrounded by flowing aquatic plants and schools of fish — François Schuiten's cover art renders the deep in breathtaking shades of teal and blue, giving the scene an almost dreamlike serenity. This second volume of *Aquarica*, subtitled *La baleine géante*, brings together the talents of Benoît Sokal and François Schuiten for what promises to be another beautifully immersive dive into this oceanic universe. Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2022, it's a striking reminder of how richly European bande dessinée can conjure worlds that feel genuinely alive.
