Even Mœbius couldn't make this fruitcake's nutty dream-fantasy, that he nurtured for years, into anything but an awkwardly pathetic and absurd waste of time. According to the afterword, after Bati somehow sold According to the afterword, after Bati presented his version of this disasterpiece, Mœbius had to re-write the story and direct all the art.
Bati is convinced that each planet has it's own "person", to which I say "why not?" as long as it doesn't condescend itself to appear in a human form" (which it does) and this is his manifesto. He's also selling unicorns as the greatest entities of our world. I could get behind that for giggles and poopsicles if it was a creature that hasn't been explained logically by the description of rhinos morphing the whole way from the eastern to the western world. Come up with something that isn't over-cliched to a point of nausea! The biggest absurdity is someone, who should've had teeth dragging on the floor given his implied age, had forgotten that he saved an entire planet in his past!
Here's a great example of what you get with this:
A telepathic all-knowing unicorn's eyes become completely white and it sends a beam of knowledge and power from its alicorn into the pederast-fantasy incarnate girl's chest right above the garment that is kept on her breasts with some incredible adhesive which allows her to remember her power over the magic protector-crystals.
Bati's art is EXCELLENT (*****) which keeps you in the thrall of this turd. I love how perfectly Mœbius explains it: "...but in order to fully enjoy Marc's art, one must almost step into each panel. Then you see it is truly precise and exquisite.".
Why is the series called Altor? He's just the pesky Elf who simply tags along with the entourage. Is he supposed to be Bati? What a sucklefart!
