Game Over #1

The bold, cracked-wall logo says it all — Game Over Vol. 1 from Carlsen Comics arrives with a gloriously chaotic energy, courtesy of creators Midam, Adam, and Patelin. Dead center in a smashed hole through a stone wall crouches a wide-eyed, single-eyeballed little creature with wild purple limbs, looking equal parts stunned and defiant — exactly the kind of absurd, lovable troublemaker you'd expect from this French-Belgian comedy series. It's irreverent, cartoonishly expressive humor translated for German-speaking readers, and that cover alone promises a very entertaining ride.
