Metal Hurlant (66 pgs)



Well of course i look a the illustrations first and i thought that the drawings were very strong and i really enjoyed the style reminds me of my illustration teachers style... I had to really zoom into the comic because it was very hard to read the text, maybe if i had it in person it would be easier to read but on the computer it just didnt work for me.. or maybe i just need glasses.  but then againafter i zoomed in i noticed that it was not even in english. haha

But it must be about goblins or maybe his form of aliens where they are playing in outerspace or blowing things up .. maybe even there is a war between two species...Some of the characters will give me nightmares and some were pretty funny to enjoy.  I noticed that the artist was not afraid to show nudity, which i mean i think some of the comic books do good with great story, drama, good characters, and some nudity.  I just felt that i was in this whole other world and i actually kind of believed that it could be real... the way the environments worked with the characters and everything else just worked out.  It was believable.  One section was where two aliens were getting it on and flirting with each other and finding that sexual connection.. and i mean seemed pretty legit, i never think about aliens having sex.. but this was funny to see.  It definitely has a twist, after they were doing it then they were running away from these two large creatures and as he was running holding her hand the person stepped on her and she was dead.. only thing left was her arm which was attached to his hand still.  I did NOT expect that at all!!

I really thought this comic was pretty cool just because of the creatures/characters he does in the environments. I am an illustrator and i know that i could not pull this off, i am really not that good at making a complete different unique new environment especially with aliens because lets just say i have a phobia of aliens.  But i enjoyed someone else take of an alien/creature that was definitely unique!
