Bellatrix #3

Part of Leo's sprawling "Les Mondes d'Aldébaran" universe, this third episode of Bellatrix pulls readers into an alien world that feels lush and genuinely strange — the cover shows a tense group of characters crossing a river aboard basket-like vessels pulled by blue, seal-faced creatures, while peculiar red-orbed plants line the shore under a brooding, cloud-streaked sky. The mix of armed tension among the passengers and the otherworldly fauna makes it clear this planet has its own unsettling rules. Leo handles every aspect of the art and story himself, and his confident, naturalistic linework gives even the most exotic elements a lived-in believability.
