Androïdes #1

Résurrection

Rate this book
En 2545, l'humanité est frappée de stérilité. Plus personne sur terre n'a engendré d'enfants depuis 500 ans. Si la société Microcorp n'avait pas inventé le mélange « la pilule bleue », la Terre serait aujourd'hui inhabitée. Grâce au « mélange », la jeunesse éternelle est garantie. Plus de maladies, plus de vieillesse.
C'est dans ce contexte que Liv Anderson, flic au caractère bien trempé, enquête sur le meurtre d'un directeur de musée, retrouvé chez lui criblé de balles. Très vite, ce qui ressemble à une banale affaire semble conduire à une donnée si secrète qu'elle pousse ses gardiens à tuer quiconque s'en approche.
Parallèlement, Anna Hopkins, restauratrice d’œuvres d'art, se sent de plus en plus mal. Elle consulte le Dr Castle et le verdict tombe. Depuis 500 ans, l'humanité est stérile, mais... Anna est enceinte...

This is a kind of a SF story I can see in a new season of Netflix anthology Love, Death & Robots. It would certainly fit better than some previously adapted stories. Hope producers are on the lookout and reading this. Jean-Luc Istin wrote some of the Soleil's fantasy series such as Elves Vol. 1: The Crystal of the Blue Elves, Le mystère des Oghams and Turuk, and now he's shifting to SF and future Earth. He knows what he's doing, that's for sure. Nice little story (most of it written in the synopsis here on GR) with a twist and an art to match.

No futuro, a humanidade parece ter conquistado a imortalidade, graças a uma pílula azul distribuída gratuitamente a todos. Mas um acidente em órbita, e uma série de mortes violentas, levará à descoberta da mentira em que se baseia este futuro radioso. Na verdade, a humanidade extinguiu-se há séculos, vítima de um vírus que resistiu a todas as vacinas (não é coisa agradável de ler em 2021, em pleno confinamento pandémico provocado pelo SARS-COV2). Os andróides conscientes substituíram os humanos, e apagaram as suas memórias para criar a ilusão que são, realmente, humanos. Muitos poucos conhecem este segredo, mas os que o conhecem, estão a trabalhar para ressuscitar a humanidade, implantando fetos preservados em andróides, para que façam gestações. No fundo, perante a extinção dos seus criadores, os andróides viram-se no papel de cuidadores, preservando o legado humano e tentando fazer renascer a humanidade, recorrendo a uma elaborada ilusão para o conseguirem.

Uma aventura de FC que não tem nada de novo, apesar do conceito interessante. O que não significa que seja má leitura, bem pelo contrário, a história está bem construída e é uma leitura bem divertida. Visualmente, a ilustração está excelente, trazendo à vida este futuro hiperurbano habitado por robots inconscientes daquilo que realmente são.

Another undiscovered gem brought to light via Comixology Unlimited. There are at least four volumes of Androids, and the first two are free via Unlimited.

Good old sci-fi story about androids and humans. With a mystery and intrigue thrown in as well. Well written story and the art was top notch. I have already downloaded Vol 2.

Good sci-fi mystery story set on a post apocalyptic future high.tech Earth. I guess it's worth mentioning, that the book is populated by strong female lead characters.
The story seems more or less self-contained, not 100% sure though if you can read next volumes separately.
The art style is very fitting and colorful, personally I like a a bit more fine detail (that's probably what kept me from giving 5 stars).
Vol. 2 definitely added to my wishlist.

La BD est un véhicule exceptionnelle pour la science fiction. En plus de pouvoir développer n´importe quelle historie – aussi compliquée ou sophistiquée soit-elle – l´auteur a le pouvoir de l´accompagner des images, non seulement pour soutenir cette histoire, sinon pour la faire passer à un autre niveau. Deux arts se rencontrent alors et le résultat peut être spectaculaire. Deux exemples d´histoires grandioses dans un cadre graphique notable son « V for Vendetta » et « Watchmen ».

Dans cette courte série de 4 tomes indépendants, auteurs différents construisent des histoires autour d´androïdes, en faisant référence explicite aux lois de la robotique d´Asimov, bien que pas nécessairement pour les respecter… Les histoires sont bien construites et le graphisme est excellent. Difficile de résister à la tentation de lire les 4 tomes.

Dans le premier, l´humanité a atteint un équilibre avec une vie éternelle, mais en sacrifiant la capacité d´avoir des enfants. Jusqu´à ce que l´inattendu, bien sûr, arriva…

Cool artwork. (I kinda want to try the face paint out for a cyberpunk event.) But I can't really say what I didn't like about the book without spoilers

Estoy en época comiquera, hasta donde dure o simplemente me colapse por exceso.
Está muy bien este primer tomo, buen dibujo y argumento, aunque decae ambas cosas en el último tercio, es como si de repente les entrase prisas por acabar a los autores

Very fun, fast, clean storytelling. Underrated read for a graphic novel.
