Ni Terre ni Mer #2

The concluding volume of this two-part French series from Dupuis draws you in immediately with a stunning cover: a lone silhouetted figure tumbles — or floats — through the center of a vast, spiraling stairwell bathed in cold blue light, the geometry pulling the eye toward a blinding white glow at the tunnel's end. It's a quietly arresting image that captures a sense of suspension between worlds, perfectly echoing the title Ni Terre ni Mer — neither earth nor sea. With Olivier Mégaton, Nicola Genzianella, and Sylvain Ricard collaborating, this 2018 finale promises the same atmospheric tension that makes European bande dessinée so compelling.
