About the author
Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira (Leo)
107 books171 followersLuiz Eduardo de Oliveira (born on December 13, 1944 in Brazil),[1] more famous under his artist name LEO is a Brazilian comics creator.
After having graduated as an engineer in mechanics, Oliveira left Brazil because of the military dictatorship that was in power at the time. He went first to Chile, but the following year saw the Chilean coup of 1973. This led Oliveira to leave, moving to Argentina, from where he finally returned to Brazil in 1974.
He found work as an illustrator in the advertising industry of São Paulo, before once more leaving Brazil, in 1981, this time moving to France, hoping to illustrate comics. However as the Franco-Belgian comics industry was in recession at the time, he was forced to work in advertising once again, although he managed to get the occasional piece published in L'Écho des savanes and Pilote.
In 1986, with the assistance of Jean-Claude Forest, Oliveira began contributing to the youth dedicated magazines of Bayard Presse. He illustrated true stories for Okapi magazine. He then recounted Mahatma Gandhi's life in the album Gandhi, le pèlerin de la paix, for Astrapi.
In 1988, the comics writer Rodolphe asked him to provide the artwork for his stories. Their collaboration proved fruitful, producing 8 albums of material for their Trent series and 5 for their Kenya one.
In 1993, Oleveira finally achieved an old dream when Dargaud agreed to publish his first solo series: Aldébaran. In 2000, after 5 volumes of Aldébaran, he launched Bételgeuse, which was nominated for the Prize for a Series at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2004.

Това е краят на третата завършена космическа серия сътворена от бразилския магьосник на комикса Лео.
Неговите творби са ми любими - прекрасни илюстрации, напрегнати и разнообразни приключения, богати светове и герои, които лесно обикваш и следваш с удоволствие, където и да ги запрати съдбата.
Отделно, френският използван в текстовете е на едно ниво, което безпроблемно позволява да поддържаш своите знания с лекота и удоволствие.
Накратко, препоръчвам всичко излязло из под перото на този талантлив творец!

La fin d'un cycle mais qui s'ouvre sur une foule de projets et de perspectives. Assez frustrant avec l'impression du "ça ne finira donc jamais?"
Points positifs: le très bon résumé au début qui englobe les trois cycles. On a plaisir à retrouver Sven et en apprendre davantage sur son peuple. À la fin de l'album, la présentation de la nouvelle série The Mermaid Project de LEO.

What to say about "The World of Aldebaran" series that finishes with this tome? Just one word: FANTASTIC! Kim's story is unbelievable and well constructed. All the graphism, locals, beings, animals, where used with great imagination. The social problems that Leo was pointing across the plot were a reflex of our world, even Today. Something that we can't ignore and must fight avoid them. Well done Leo!! Amazing! Now proceed to the Survivors and the Return To Aldebaran. I'm sure that Leo will continue to surprising me! Muito Obrigado!

Une belle fin à cette série science-fiction, où les antagonistes voient l’erreur de leurs actions d’une façon ou une autre et les soucis des protagonistes vont plus ou moins trouver fin après tous ces aventures. Mais pas avant qu’il y a pas mal des moments où les personnages qui ont entrepris le voyage vers Antarès et puis à la planète lointain d’où vient le signal inconnue étaient au coude à coude les uns les autres. J’ai adoré, mais adoré quand Et enfin, on voit un peu la logique et le bon sens prennent le dessus parmi les dirigeants des sociétés terriens en espace. Par contre, comme j’avais remarqué depuis un bon moment dans cette série, le déroulement des histoires amoureuses laisse à désirer, car à un moment un personnage pense une chose de ses sentiments, puis il semble que seulement quelques pages plus tard il fait volte-face et embrasse et même se couche avec la personne qu’il avait refusé juste avant.
En fin compte, cependant, ce livre met une bonne fin à la série, et en tout les trois cycles étaient une joie à lire, pour les histoires de la science-fiction pur, des commentaires sociétales, les créatures bizarres et superbe sur chaque planète et l’évolution des personnages entre autres thèmes et autres présent durant la série.

I got properly hooked by this after reading Épisode 1, and ploughed enthusiastically through the rest of the sequence. I felt that Leo is on top of his game here, balancing the travails of the exploration party (led of course by Kim, who is the heroine of the entire story) with the story of the evil fundamentalist cultists who are trying to assert control over the entire colony and put women like Kim in their place. At the same time the sensawunda is maintained, with the last volume knitting together strands from the Aldébaran and Bételgeuse cycles to reach a pretty satisfying conclusion to Kim's story, all as ever gorgeously illustrated.

Come sempre in questi casi, il voto é complessivo dell’intera serie. Affascinante, come sono sempre le storie di Leo. L’unica pecca é che la fine lascia sottendere che ci sarà un’altra serie... ma che ancora questa non esiste. Peccato.

The final chapter of Antares finds Kim, Mark, and the rest of the group returning to the planet while somehow resolving the mysteries. The ending feels like high science fiction with the different forces coming together.

Recent Reads: Antares Episode 6. The final volume in this section of Leo's Aldebaran travelogue. Kim's search for her daughter ends in a first contact with the aliens from the Mantris' home world. Mysteries remain, strange new worlds and new civilizations for future volumes.

The Antares cycle comes to an satisfactory end. Not an exceptional story overall, but very readable and at no point do you lose interest of get bored. Don’t trust those extraterrestrials at the end though - seem far too paternal. Perhaps that will come up in a later cycle.

Une bonne fin de cycle. On revoit Sven et on en apprend plus sur son peuple, Kim est de nouveau embarquée dans d’autres aventures...

Leo is an excellent writer- I'm glad that I had a solo effort unread to verify that he doesn't need a scribe by his side.

This final instalment of the third cycle in Leo's Worlds of Aldebaran saga picks up where the previous album left off, with Kim and Alexa entering the mysterious doppelganger shuttle which showed up by their own. Who are behind these happening? Will Kim find her missing daughter? The questions are many as the group navigate through the enigmas on Antares 5.
All in all, Leo delivers a great conclusion to this third cycle, and I definitely hope that he will produce further adventures in the future.
