Ether #1

A rugged, knife-wielding adventurer stands at the border between two strikingly different worlds — a gritty, crumbling urban landscape on one side and a wild, vivid fantasy realm teeming with strange creatures on the other. Matt Kindt and David Rubín's Ether arrives in French from Urban Comics with this eye-catching volume subtitled L'Assassinat de la Flamme d'Or, and Rubín's cover alone makes a compelling case for the series with its bold split-composition design and richly textured colors. If you're drawn to stories that straddle the rational and the fantastical, this 2018 edition is a genuinely exciting place to start.
