Cité 14 - Saison 1

In this French sci-fi series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, Cité 14 - Saison 1 (2011–present) follows a sprawling, dystopian urban labyrinth where the city itself is a character—a decaying, endlessly stratified metropolis that traps its inhabitants in a cycle of surveillance and survival. The series, primarily written and drawn by Pierre Gabus and Romuald Reutimann, blends noir, fantasy, and social commentary across its first four-issue season, establishing a rich, atmospheric world that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary. Its importance lies in its ambitious, novelistic approach to the comic medium, building a layered narrative that explores power, memory, and resistance within a vividly realized, oppressive setting.
