Septentryon #2

The second volume of Houot's Septentryon series, subtitled Angousalem, brings a vivid post-apocalyptic tableau to life on its cover: a young red-haired woman scrambles across rubble-strewn ruins while massive, insect-like mechanical war machines — bristling with yellow-and-black markings — loom and advance across a crumbling cityscape beneath a blood-red sky. Published by Glénat in 2002, this Franco-Belgian science fiction series delivers the kind of sweeping, detailed visual storytelling that the genre does best. If you're drawn to expansive worldbuilding and dynamic cover art, Angousalem is a compelling entry point into Houot's ambitious universe.
