BLAME!, Vol. 1

This is an incredibly atmospheric sci-fi romp. You can feel the cold, still air just looking at these pages.
The chapters almost feel like standalone vignettes and could each be taken as individual short stories despite stringing together one adventure through the book, and I like that.
The only thing I don't like is how hard it is to make out some compositions. Some fight scenes specifically had me scratching my head trying to figure out exactly what the panels were telling me. I found that unintelligible factor a little frustrating, and it's really the only thing I'd hold against the book.
Despite that, the art is generally great. The environments are famously well rendered and communicate the desolate feeling of the world well, and the show more creatures and machinations that inhabit it are grotesque and unnerving. show less

There is not much to read. You either catch to the magnitude of grand scale or get bored and throw in away. There is almost no plot (only a tons of debris to speculate about it), there is no points or anything sensible here...

...but it is the best description of Megastructure in our times (just a little bit irony here, couldn't resist, sorry).

Em um futuro no qual a humanidade foi quase toda dizimada, Killy é um aventureiro que vive um uma superestrutura vertical repleta de corredores, escadarias e até cavernas. Ele passa seus dias lutando para sobreviver, enfrentando ciborgues assassinos e monstros mutantes ao mesmo tempo em que tenta acessar a rede de computadores para localizar a informação necessária para salvar os seres humanos restantes.

I have very little idea what's going on after reading this volume, the art is cool and it's interesting enough to try another volume to see if I can figure out what's going on.

The volume is visually interesting, but the plot is basically nonexistent.
