Area D

In the far future, humans abandon the devastated Earth and move to the upper world "Tenjo". But Tenjo and the law of causation collapse by a war and humans return to the Earth, which has turned into an inhabitable planet except for the Shinshu area...

With that odd and somewhat juvenile title, you'd think it's going to be one of those initial-issue instant flops. On the the other hand, given Image Comics' current track record, what with The Walking Dead, Chew, The Viking, King City, et al., which I daresay puts Image ahead of Vertigo so far in the area of alternatives to the superhero genre (I have to admit I'm biased--the first three titles just mentioned are my top three choices for best ongoing series, in that order), you'd mutter to yourself, hmm... perhaps it's worth a look. You'd better. For you won't regret it. Writer AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo together put on a dazzling display. One of those rare combinations of funny, snappy dialogue and kinetic art. All high-quality cover-to-cover Minutemen scans.

La storia inizia con gli eserciti cristiani che decidono di conquistare Gerusalemme caduta nelle mani del sultano Ab’dul Razim. Non mancano soldati, sovrani, principi, personaggi realmente esisti, sultani, sacerdoti cristiani e così via e abbondano momenti di azione e violenza con battaglie, decapitazioni e uccisioni efferate. Con il pretesto quindi di un fantasy a sfondo storico, Dufaux analizza la contrapposizione di società diametralmente opposte, denunciando al contempo l’istinto aggressivo del potere politico e religioso (e ciò vale per i cristiani quanto per i musulmani). Se i testi e la sceneggiatura sono di grande livello, i disegni sono ottimi e non potrebbe essere altrimenti dal momento che la parte grafica è appannaggio di Philippe Xavier. Il suo stile è in linea con gli esiti creativi di area bd ma ci sono influssi dei comic-book statunitensi fantasy e supereroici. D’altronde bisogna ricordare che Xavier ha vissuto a lungo negli Stati Uniti, lavorando per case editrici come la Marvel e la Caliber, oltre al non trascurabile apporto alla storica rivista Heavy Metal.

is an award-winning graphic novel and comic series by Christian Gossett set in a sci-fi/fantasy world described by Gossett as "Mythic [Soviet] Russia". As a graphic novel it remains one of the most celebrated of the decade, an epic mythology inspired by the art, folklore and military history of the former Soviet Union. The series is thus an allegory of the former USSR--a post-World War II Soviet Russia mixing technology and sorcery. The 'United Republics of the Red Star', often simply called the 'State' in the comic, are shown to be coterminous with the historical Soviet Union in a map at the beginning of the first issue. The main enemy of the first novels, Al'Istaan, is a stand-in for historical Afghanistan and occupies a similar area on the map. Volume 1 consists of ten comics in a limited series, published by Image Comics from June, 2000 to June 2002. There are actually nine issues with an added Issue #7.5, plus an annual issue. Within the comics world, the books are a hit, and have already amassed an international cult following. For the world of popular art, they represent a very important progression in the way that comic books can be drawn, coloured and produced using a combination of traditional drawing, CG artwork and digital compositing, resulting in a unique, cinematic visual style that many have since tried to emulate but have never equalled. Superior story and incredible artwork.
