Sneak Peek: Atlas & Axis #1 by Pau

Atlas & Axis #1 - Cover A

Titan Comics and Statix Press have released a preview of their English-language edition of creator Pau’s Prix Du FIBD Angoulême award-nominated comic La Saga d’Atlas – Atlas & Axis – and not only does it look totally wonderful, it reads like a dream, too…

In the fantastical world of Pangea, all the animals talk and walk on two paws. Warriors Atlas and Axis are mutts of very different pedigrees: Atlas is intelligent and rational, a calculating hero, while Axis is more likely to take a wild swing when his blood runs hot.

When our roaming adventurers return home to find Viking raiders – brutes from the North who pillage and kill all who fall under their claws – have destroyed their village, they set off on a perilous quest across land and sea to save what remains of their friends and family!
