Heavy Metal Magazine Issue #4 – Hardcover

Post Apocalyptic Winter: As winter settles in and the new year begins, Heavy Metal
#4 delivers a landmark issue filled with climactic finales and daring new visions.
Enki Bilal concludes the first major arc of his acclaimed BUG saga, where politics,
technology, and surrealism collide in unforgettable ways. Michael Conrad and Ilias
Kyriazis bring Millstone to the close of its opening arc, weaving myth and destiny
into a fateful conclusion. Sergio Gerasi’s reimagining of Valentina reaches its
dreamlike finale, and Leah Moore, John Reppion, and Anna Morozova conclude
the first chapter of Taarna, cementing her place as the eternal cosmic warrior. The
magazine also continues its bold ongoing series, as Charley and Vlas
Parlapánides with Marco Failla push Ink into darker territory and John Stanisci
returns with a fierce new installment of Gladiatrix, where honor and brutality collide
in the arena. Adding to this landmark lineup are three speculative shorts that
venture into unsettling visions of the near future, stories where technology, identity,
and control blur into haunting reflections of our own world. Baby Trigger by Mark
McCann and Luis Guaragna, Sub Body by Homero Ríos, and Face Value by Flops
each deliver a provocative glimpse into futures just around the corner. Heavy Metal
#4 stands as a milestone, an essential edition where defining arcs reach their
climax, ongoing sagas intensify, and new visions chart the shadows of tomorrow.
