Nocéan #1

Against a vivid magenta background, two young women tumble through the air in a moment of charged tension — one with her hair pulled up and hand raised in a guarded stance, the other with wild, flowing locs and striking yellow eyes, caught mid-fall in an orange jacket. This opening volume of Nocéan, subtitled Atari & Tika, arrives from Dupuis with a visual energy that immediately signals these two are the kind of duo whose dynamic will drive everything. EFA's cover work is bold and stylish, making this 2023 French-language release a genuinely compelling pickup for fans of action-forward bande dessinée.
