Espace vital #3

The third volume of Espace vital closes out this French-language series from Glénat with a cover image that speaks volumes: a solitary young figure stands with their back to us, dwarfed by an immense, looming skull that fills the sky above them. Writer LF Bollée and artist Fabrice Meddour craft a striking sense of scale and dread, with the pale, weathered skull rendered in careful detail against a muted, atmospheric background. If the previous two volumes drew you in, this 2018 conclusion promises to deliver on the series' moody, unsettling tone in full.
