Avant l'Apocalypse #[nn]

The pale yellow cover of *Avant l'Apocalypse* sets a quietly whimsical tone: a small lizard-like creature dressed in a blue bonnet and coat clutches a bundle of colorful balloons, while a second, smaller reptilian figure crouches curiously nearby — tender and a little absurd all at once. Published in 2015 by Éditions Mécanique Générale, this Franco-Canadian release from Réal Godbout and Adèle Bourget Godbout pairs its end-times title with imagery that feels more like a gentle children's storybook than a disaster narrative. If you're drawn to comics that find warmth and humor in unexpected places, this one is hard to walk past.
