Les Divisions de Fer #2

Set in an alternate 1948 Pacific theater, this second volume of Les Divisions de Fer plunges readers into a breathtaking vision of mechanized warfare, with a towering Japanese walker — bristling with cannons and bearing the Rising Sun emblem — striding through a beach assault while explosions erupt around it and soldiers scramble in the foreground beneath a sky filled with warplanes. Jean-Luc Sala and Arif Khaled deliver a cover that crackles with the spectacle of their dieselpunk alternate history, blending the scale of WWII's Pacific campaign with the thunderous presence of giant war machines. If you love alternate-history action with serious visual ambition, Pacific Invasion looks like exactly the right battlefield to step onto.
