Les Déracinés
Swänn and Sätie were born on Näkän, a major planet in the Complex, a federation of extraterrestrial civilizations. The young couple hoped to live a peaceful life in an environment where nature and technology coexist in balance. But they are forced to mobilize when the leaders of the Complex decide to launch a vast expedition to save a planet that has exhausted its resources: Earth.
“Renaissance V1 is brimming with mature ideas that aren’t grounded in tired tropes or genre sensationalism, but rather in service of credible drama that is bolstered by Emem’s full realization of the planet of Nakan and the culture that lives on it, as well as the crumbling Earth that turns out to be the stage not for over-the-top spectacle, but for more quiet, interpersonal discovery between inhabitants from different worlds.” The Comics Beat
Après l’homme…
L’Imparfait du futur
Jules, a nice boy living a quiet life without any particular problems (except his little brother set on murdering his guinea pig), is selected by the Global Space Agency to take part in the first expedition to planet Alpha aboard an interstellar spaceship. The journey will last 8 weeks for the passengers, and 8 months in Earth-time (because of relativity)… Thus Jules embarks upon the voyage of a lifetime, stowaway guinea pig in tow, accompanied by the other members of this glorious team of space explorers: a couple of eccentrics who collect Nobel prizes; a rather tetchy roommate; a drunken pilot who seems to mess up the landings every time and endangers interplanetary peace; and a pretty exobiologist who will study any extraterrestrial life they come across. Get ready for takeoff!
