Looks absolutely beautiful, Mythic Greek by way of Shadow of the Colossus.

The story is appropriately epic, but it didn't hold my attention the way the art style did.

I wasn't a super big fan of this one. I think the illustrations were interesting, and the story was neat, but the execution wasn't something I enjoyed. I feel like it tried to be too philosophical without actually moving the story along.

Indeed, a book which compels you to think about it everyday. Journey of a man who could not decide whether ha has a gift or curse from Gods is extraordinary. He searches for answers everywhere and shows us the true nature of our society. How people are selfish to each other and are always indulged in wars. Also, the book focuses on all the Greek Gods and their powers. You would definitely, be intrigued to find out what happens in the end. But, the climax was the only thing I could not understand. Surely, I would like to give 4 stars to the book. Thanks to Edelweiss and Magnetic Press for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.

Carbone ("Carbon") and Silicium ("Silicon") are two artificial intelligences constructed in the near future, given humanoid bodies, and observing and participating in the gradual decline of humanity and the end of the world in environmental catastrophe. It's much slower paced than, say, Barbarella, but thoughtful as well as grim. As my regular reader knows, I'm not a huge fan of stories with anthropomorphic robots; however this somehow worked for me.½
