The French magazine Charlie Hebdo has revealed a defiant cover for its latest edition, following the Paris atrocity. “Screw them, we’ve got champagne”.

The weekly Parisian magazine known for its cutting satirical cartoons and being subjected to a terrorist attack in January 2015, has released its first cover since Friday’s devastating violence.

The cover depicted a man dancing around, with a bottle of Champagne in one hand and drinking out of a flute while the Champagne poured out of apparent bullet holes in his body. Five others were killed in several related attacks throughout the capital, including a hostage situation at a Kosher market.

In the wake of Friday’s assaults on numerous locations in Paris for which the Islamic extremist group ISIS has taken credit, Charlie Hebdo is demonstrating that it has no plans to back down and stands fully for France and French culture. She was leaving the offices to pick up her daughter from daycare when terrorists attacked the newspaper on January 7, according to a report from Le Messager.

The cartoon echoed the comments of Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Joann Star, who wrote after Friday’s evening’s attacks that Paris “about life” rather than religion.
