H.O.P.E. #3

The third volume of Janolle's H.O.P.E. series, subtitled Hybrides, delivers a striking visual promise: two silhouetted figures perched on a rocky outcrop gaze toward a colossal, organic-looking structure that looms over a lush, inhabited valley below. The scale and strangeness of that towering form — part geological, part something else entirely — set a genuinely unsettling tone against an otherwise serene sky. Published by Glénat in 2011, this is post-apocalyptic science fiction with a painterly sweep that rewards a long, careful look.
