L'Apocalypse selon Bram et Ben #1

A chaotic, fire-ringed streetscape sets the stage for this 2015 French-language release from Les Humanoïdes Associés — two young guys, one leather-jacketed and cocky, the other wide-eyed and anxious, stand front and center amid crashed cars, flames, and a winged angelic figure descending in the smoky background. The contrast between Bram's devil-may-care swagger and Ben's visible alarm gives the cover an instantly likable comic energy, promising a buddy dynamic with the end of the world as its backdrop. Asmus, Festante, and Broo deliver a premise that's hard to resist: apocalypse never looked so hilariously ill-prepared for.
