Beginnig which promises March 5, 2007
I am great admirerer of French comic books. Much of my growing up was influenced with numerous French comics whose english titles I do not know and cannot state them here. Stating them doesn't mean much, it's just a figure of speech :)
I have first heard of Wake (or Sillage, which is original title) on a local web forum which deals with comic-books. From what I have read, it seemed to me that I should give it a try. After all, I't has been some time since I actually bought any comic book at all, and introductional story seemed interesting enough. So, I wen't to a local comic-book store and few moments later emerged form whithin with a brand new issue in my hand. That is all irrelevant...
What matters is that we're dealing with a classic 48-pages long french comic book whose main fault is that it comes first in the series. It wouldn't be a problem if we weren't dealing with an entire universe which nedeed to be presented. That caused scenario to be pretty irregular and shifty in highlighting various aspect in various time, making entire story rather shallow. Many of it's emptinesses are left to be filled in later books. What is shown in this one comes down to half-naked Navee (which is quite erotic so if you mind that kind of drawing, I suggest that you avoid this one) and interesting enough setting with cliffhanger which can be exploited in numerous ways in upcoming issues. (I am aware that nine of them are already out, but, since I don't read french, I am bound to croatian issues. That means this one.)
Story itself doesn't seems to be naive, and it looks like Morvan will be able to pull out few surprises form his sleeve. Looking at this album as an isolated incident it is quite bad. Unexplained, quick paced, lacks motivation. Looking at it as the beginnig of a series, one must admit that it hooks it's reader to await eagerly for other issues that follow.
What will ome next remains to be seen.
Discovery and Freedom at the Edges of the Universe July 7, 2004
Fire and Ash is the first in the Wake series. Young Navee is the only survivor of a crash on a forest world. There she has lived in harmony with HooYoo (a tiger-like being). But her world suddenly changes with the arrival of the star-spanning convoy called Wake.A surveyor is accidently brought down by Navee's slingshot. The alien Majestee has arrived to raise surface temperatures to help his race. Navee's presence could end it all. Action and intrigue combine as Navee tries to save herself and her world. She is also introduced to the cloned Migers, powerful work drones who live to serve. A fast-paced tale of a lone human looking for keys to her past. Navee's strong moral code makes for an excellent driving force in the tale. Space opera at its best.
