Once Our Land

Set in a mythic, post-apocalyptic wasteland, Once Our Land (Scout Comics, 2019–present) follows a lone wanderer and a mysterious child on a brutal journey through a world reclaimed by nature and violence. Artist Peter Ricq brings a haunting, painterly style to this four-issue series, blending sparse dialogue with evocative imagery that captures both the desolation and fragile hope of its setting. A quiet, atmospheric entry in the survival genre, it matters for its focus on visual storytelling and the bond between its two central characters.
