Made famous by Blame!, his cult series, Tsutomu Nihei has become a must-SF writer, graphics and layout unique. His stories are bathed in a stifling atmosphere that makes it even more oppressive breathtaking scenery, creatures half-human, half-synthetic and monstrous characters to a panel of inhumanity disturbing. Abara is the name of one of his works among the latest. The Shiro Gauna mutant creatures are shapeshifters who spread terror in a futuristic city. Based on their spines, armor made of indestructible bones envelops the body of their owner and spreads in all directions, attacking all forms of life nearby. What is the origin of this monstrosity? A woman and a man that separates all will try to penetrate this secret short work in two volumes, Abara extends nightmarish delusions of Blame! By setting the bar even higher. A real slap visual.
