Burn the house down

In this taut three-issue thriller from Éditions Akata (2023–present), a family’s violent past erupts into the present when a young woman returns to the rural home she fled years ago, forcing a reckoning with buried secrets and unresolved trauma. The series, anchored by its atmospheric art and tight, character-driven storytelling, builds a quiet, simmering tension that makes every panel count. It matters as a sharp, compact example of modern European crime comics, proving that a story can be both intimate and explosive in just a handful of issues.
