I get that he's not for everybody, he's got a tendency to get a little weird and abstract, but I really love Thomas Gilbert's stuff, both art and story-wise. Here he pairs up with Claire Fauvel to deliver a stunning and powerful story about art and activism in a crumbling world. It's set in a not-so-alternate history Paris, where climate change is killing birds and the borderline facist government is turning the country into a police state. In that oppressive backdrop, the two authors build a surprisingly emotional relationship between a famous dancer and her pupil. It's like a fever dream deep dipe into the creative process.
What's particularly interesting to me, is the work distribution on this. Both creators are credited as writer and artist. If you're familiar with either, you'll obviously see the difference. But it's visually surprisingly cohesive despite their wildly different art styles, without either compromising their styles either. I don't know how to describe it.
