You'd think a book that opens with a man waking up with no memory and reading his own diary about how last week he was a drug addict being picked up out of a puddle by a robot in an ape suit would be memorable, wouldn't you?That's unfair, though -- I did remember within two pages that I had read this a couple years back and failed to move it from one list to another. I think that I forgot it is due not to poor quality but to the fact that it is very much a beginning of a story. The plot is barel...
Hard to review this one alone as this book serves as an introduction to the characters and universe of the Aama series and just sort of ends. nothing really stands alone in this volume. It is good, but I'll have to read the next book to figure this one out. I do really like the artwork. Very animation-ready coloring and the bold inks are lovely.I want to know what's up with the robot ape's shaved legs.
Trippy art and an intriguing world make up for a meandering story. I like the Churchill character but the main character Verloc doesn’t really do much and is just being pulled around by the plot. This is a decent set-up for the series but could have been better.
Fantastic European sci-fi with mind expanding art. I can live off of this - and did, while inside a library for the last few hours. I’m satisfied:)
Aama vol. 1 begins the story with futuristic socialrealism - but later will turn the volume up as a politically charged sci-fi. We meet our washedout hero who wakes up in nowhere, only accompanied by an robot ape. From there on we find out he was taken on a journey by his more successful and likeable brother who works a a major company. As we explore the story through flashbacks and dreams, we delve into the ethics of human relaionship with themselves and technology - accompanied by a thorough w...
Good mysterious sci-fi adventure. A lot happened but still doo not have idea much what exactly is happening. Characters are interesting and likeable. I do not like the artwork, but I got used to it while I was reading, it fits the story well. 1/4 volumes so I hope I will get explanations for some things I am confused about.Things that could maybe tell yout ot give a try? One man who lost his father's shop, his wife and daughter. His brother who is important guy and has toothbrush in his mouth mo...
The promising first volume of what is shaping up to be a trippy yet politically charged sci-fi thriller by Swiss cartoonist Frédérik Peeters. In terms of recent sci-fi comics, it reads like a cross between Remender’s Fear Agent (alcoholism, broken family, need for reunion and redemption) and Graham’s Prophet (amnesia, disorientation, mission) - less obnoxious than the former and more coherent than the latter. Peeters’ drawings are a bit on the simple side, but a great, Moebius-influenced sense o...
Book blurb: In the distant future, Verloc Nim wakes up in the middle of nowhere suffering from complete amnesia. He remembers nothing of his former life. But when Verloc is handed his diary by a robot-ape called Churchill, he is able to revisit his past.This sci-fi graphic novel, the first in the Aama series, is a bit perplexing for me. I liked some of the ideas in the book - who could not love Churchill, and where can I get one of my very own? - but, overall this book felt like a barely remembe...
