Segundo volume das aventuras atrapalhadas dos detetives espaço-temporais Valérian e Laureline. Divertido e icônico, mas cheio de furos, escapadas mirabolantes e desenvolvimentos improvisados e por vezes inconsequentes. O império dos mil planetas leva a uma conspiração autocrática e uma batalha espacial com ares revolucionários.
Not that good. I liked the art. It has that 70s comic style, but updated in a nice way. The writing was what brought this down. The story barely holds together, the characters are two-dimensional, backgrounds are never established, and the ending is unsatisfying and seems a bit like the author wrote into a corner and had to make an awkward exit.
Like The birds of the Emperor/Härskarens fåglar political in a very overt way. Still, or maybe because of it(?),I like it.
Rumtiden, engang
Vi følger rumtidsagenterne Linda og Valentin.
Planeten Syrte er centrum i De Tusind Planeters Imperium, men styres med hård hånd af De Vidende, som nærer et stort had til Jorden, men hvorfor mon? De styrtes ved en revolution, som Linda og Valentin hjælper bag kulisserne.
Nogenlunde ok tegneserie
