it was amazing
bookshelves: x-authors-english, _comics, sci-fi

Gorgeous art. Nice concept developed and presented in hard sci-fi lines. Maybe the energy devoted to the hard science makes the background theme a bit lost. There is some reflection about arms, pacifism, humankind, fate, technology. And it all gets wrapped up pretty quickly or feels dismissed. Unlike what happens in the dystopian tradition, where it is all about the theme and the premise. But I am biased towards that kind of sci-fi and usually get bored by hard sci-fi. This still gets 5 stars because it is so well delivered. There is nothing that really feels clumsy or not great. If it was literature, it would need a lot more than this, as a story. But as a comic book, and graphic art, it's just beautiful.
