Le Lendemain du monde #[nn]

A brooding, sun-scorched atmosphere radiates from this Casterman release, as a fair-haired man with reflective glasses stands front and center, a vivid green iguana perched calmly on his shoulder — an unlikely companion against a blood-red sky filled with silhouetted aircraft and crumbling urban ruins. The haunting backdrop of a damaged church and looming high-rise speaks to a world in upheaval, rendered in a palette that feels both tropical and threatening. Xavier Coste and Olivier Cotte deliver a cover that is quietly unsettling, drawing you in with its stillness even as the world behind their protagonist seems to be falling apart.
