Beautiful artwork, interesting story and characters. Verloc may not by the best person but still manages to be a likeable narrator. The mystery really develops in this volume, probably my favorite of the series. Some really interesting ecology as they traverse the planet, and great use of color.
Une série qui finit en beauté et en apothéose. On découvre un réel univers instauré par Peeters, avec de belles références dans le dessin (Moebius, l'incal noir,...). Une belle intrigue qui toutefois peu débordé de créativité ou l'on peut si perdre.
Peeters maintains the spin: here's where things get weird and the plane of narrative interest transforms, but the intensity stays razor sharp as attention narrows on Verloc. Some mysteries are answered; others arise. Stick with it. This is one hell of a story.
Wait, wait, wait...*this* won Best Series, Angoulême International Comics Festival 2013? Oooookay, then.
Dove Verloc Nim diviene, dopo un'ordalia di sangue e morte, il portatore di una forza impressionante.
Quoi ?! Comment ça ?? La cible principale était Verloc ?? Et sa fille est vraiment sur place avec eux ??!
With this third volume, the series reaches a new level of awesomeness for me: at the mercy of their alien environment, our heroes appear more fragile and relatable than ever - but are they even human? And are those fantastic landscapes really alien in nature? As the boundaries of time and space gradually dissolve and things take increasingly alien shapes, Peeters keeps the vessel on course with wonderful clarity and a childlike, unpretentious sense of curiosity. Outstanding stuff!
The suspense is building in this series, where we are trying to figure out what this planet-altering substance really is. It feels like some things are shifting, becoming more bizarre or surreal as they proceed. This planet is seeming stranger and stranger, with dream sequences and all, involving Verloc, our main character. Are both time and space altering? Seems like it. We are building to a place where we will know more about what this substance is. And this girl on the cover, what does she ha...
So by volume 3, Verloc Nim has finally finished reading his diary and we've caught up to the scene that opened volume 1. Not complaining, just observing. As always, Peeters displays an impressive visual imagination. This alien planet truly feels alien. There's certainly an element of surrealism to the whole enterprise, especially in the dream sequences, but it still feels as if there's an underlying reality anchoring it. This remains a very European series, reminiscent of Moebius and Bilal and e...

Se mantiene y expande la intriga, y la imaginación y el color estallan.
Siamo nel cuore del processo di creazione di una tecnonatura… e la tappa successiva sarà per forza la creazione di una tecnoumanità.Questo volume, pur contenendo degli episodi chiave per lo svolgimento della trama, mi è piaciuto meno dei precedenti. È un volume di passaggio ed ha tutta una parte centrale che, purtroppo, mi è sembrata solo un riempitivo. Per fortuna si riprende sul finale, lasciandomi il desiderio di scoprire cosa accadrà.
Another incredible volume from Peeters. Secrets are revealed and characters die. I'm truly blown away by his creativity in designing the biology of the world.
Well things get even more surreal in the third volume of the story of aama. The flash back filled diary the protagonist has been reading in an attempt to retain his memory comes to an end. I did find it confusing sometimes that so much of the story was told as flash backs within flash backs but I must admit that there i no less confusion when the diary finally comes to an end. In a way this is a story of a man trying to cope with his divorce and his parents deaths. In other ways it is a surreal
This third book is a huge culmination of the patient build-up from the previous two. Verloc finally stops drifting aimlessly and plots his own course. The world of Aama continues to be both vicious and beautiful, inspiring wonder but barely survivable. The intentions of the project and Verloc’s connection to Aama are beginning to make sense. There’s a fantastic dream sequence in the final third of the book that finally provokes Verloc to awaken. Aama has been a trippy but heartfelt journey of se...
Deze stripreeks doet me denken aan ‘Annihilation’ (met name de verfilming door Netflix met Nathalie Portman) in die zin dat ik ook de meest ongelooflijke vervormingen van de natuur voorgeschoteld krijg, de grenzen van het waanzinnige worden opgezocht en je als lezer/kijker nogal kan speculeren over wat er zich afspeelt.Hopelijk krijgen we in het vierde en laatste deel een bevredigend einde voorgeschoteld. Sowieso verwacht ik geen “En ze leefden nog lang en gelukkig”.
J'ai adoré le premier volume, c'était un peu plus compliqué avec le deuxième: surtout parce que je ne les ai pas lus dans la foulée, du temps est passé et je ne me souvenais plus très bien de tous les détails de l'histoire. Et c'est encore pire avec ce troisième volume: je ne me souvenais plus de tant de choses que je ne comprenais strictement rien, j'ai dû abandonner. Un jour j'emprunterai à la bibli les quatre volumes à la fois...
