Tokyo Babylon T01

Makyo and Vicomte's At the World's Edge is one of the most successful and bestselling BDs in France. The first cycle composed of four tomes undoubtedly belongs to the pantheon of cult fantasy works!

The universe of Fabrice Lebeault is a treat for the senses… The architecture of Horologiom City and its machines is a feast for the eyes. The portrayed world is both poetic and mechanical, it’s a sharp vision of political and religious interactions of a society collapsing under its dogmas and paradoxes. A careful reader will delight in analogies to the works of George Orwell, Philip K. or Paul Grimault’s catroon ‘Roi et L’Oiseau’…

This story will keep you in suspense without being very original. You’ll find yourself wanting to know more and, with every page turned, you’ll learn a little bit more of the truth… It’s a real thriller! The drawings are of impeccable quality, a lot of work has been put into the landscapes and characters. Dark colors reinforce the idea of dark scenario. Everything is splendid!

(original title , literally "only" in English) is a comic book series published by the Belgian comic book and magazine publisher Dupuis written by Fabien Vehlmann with art by Bruno Gazzotti. It is a story about a group of five children who are the survivors of a mysterious incident where all others in their city seem to have disappeared. Since this is originally a Belgian comic and has not yet been published in English, it is what is known as a "scanlation", a portmanteau of "scan" and "translation." Scanlation refers to the scanning, translation and editing of comics from a foreign language into another, usually English. As indicated in the individual comic cbr's, the "scanlators" are the Dragonz Team of DarthScanner (of Minutemen fame) and choky27. DarthScanner is the translator while choky27 is the leterrer and proofreader. The scanner is unknown, though. Apparently DarthScanner is himself the original uploader so my gratitude and all credits to him and the Dragonz team. The translation, although not perfect, is better than most and the story itself is most interesting and worth reading. The first volume, "Left Behind" won the Youth Award for 9-12 years during the 34th Comics Festival of Angoulême, France (the largest comics festival in Europe) in 2007.
