HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE #5 Pascale Blanche Cover

It's been a year since Heavy Metal returned in full stride with renewed force, and the magazine moves forward as Gladiatrix by Dan Gordon and John Stanisci continues, and Cold Dead War by Craig Wilson closes a chapter. Dark Horizons by Philippe Pelaez and Benjamin Blasco-Martinez begins its run — a post-apocalyptic science fiction series set on Kepler-452 b, where a forbidden zone has claimed every expedition sent beyond it. All this plus much, much more in Heavy Metal's latest issue! Including: The debut of Thellus, the new science fiction saga by Simona Mogavino and Carlos Gómez, introducing a myth-infused world ruled by absolute power and laying the groundwork for a broader story of domination and resistance; Blue Angel, a near-future military science fiction story by Philippe Gauckler; The Callistan Menace, a classic science fiction story adapted by Fernando Fernández; and Turing Test for Humans by Fernando Dagnino.
