Reviews

[Lucas Maciel]

a melhor porradaria é nesse volume!

[alguns spoilers a seguir]
nos tomos anteriores a história caminha pra uma profundidade filosófica massa, trabalhando a questão da dominação política pelo amor, aquele lance que o zizek fala sobre como a autoridade tem se tornado mais cruel na medida que ela se apropria da linguagem do amor, se antes a ordem vinha expressa e óbvia "não faça isso, faça aquilo", hoje o autoritarismo segue mais o padrão "ficarei muito decepcionado se você fizer/não fizer isso", rola uma guerra fria entre aqueles que defendem o autoritarismo claro da violência, e o autoritarismo obscuro da paz.

Explora a imagem de um humano criado com todos os traços para ser assimilado como um messias, algo como o que Duna faz no começo, só que Duna trabalha também os fatores sociais que levam alguém a ser considerado um messias, como profecias implantadas por forças missionárias, crianças educadas para se tornarem o messias, etc.

E em No. 5, o Messias simplesmente é alguém com uma habilidade sobre-humana de atrair a empatia das pessoas.

Já nesse tomo a porrada retorna e é a melhor luta de todas pelo que me lembro.

[Anne Mey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un tome au rythme effrené avec la course poursuite de number three après five. Intéressant de voir qu'il se demande pourquoi five a fait ce qu'il a fait, c'est bien tout le mystère de cette histoire. Les dessins rugissent et se jettent sur le lecteur, montrant toute la violence et l'intensité des combats. Le reste des personnages est en statu quo, comme si quelque chose d'énorme et impprtant allait bientôt se passer.
