District 14: Season 1 Vol. 1: Are you an Anarchist?

District 14: Season 1 #1

by Pierre Gabus, Romuald Reutimann (Artist)

A unique and addictive anthropomorphic mystery with an intricate plot and a fantastic cast of characters. District 14: a labyrinthine megalopolis where humans, animals, and aliens coexist. A rotting Tower of Babel where anarchy and wealth commingle, where affluence and crime intertwine… It is amidst this vibrant urban landscape that a strange character, an elephant by the name of Michael, disembarks from an immigrant vessel. This mighty pachyderm barely sets his bag down when he is caught in a violent crossfire… Along with Hector, an opinionated journalist beaver, they come to form a unique and powerful duo, reporting for one of the city’s sensationalist newspapers.

It wasn't really that interesting.

[Joanne · Rating 2 out of 5]

This feels like just the opening act in what’s clearly going to be a long-running, BoJackian-meets-Herrimanesque parade of absurdity and noise. The elephant has a hint of Babar’s charm, though with far less grandeur—and maybe a lot more chaotic potential than anything coming out of Celesteville. It’s weird, loud, and likely just getting started. Who knows where it’ll go next…and I’m not sure I’m interested enough to find out.

Volume 1 introduces an interesting world with a mix of anthroporphic animal characters. It seems to begin as an immigrant story then quickly evolves into an intrigue/heist-like story. I may read more, but it's split into short issues on hoopla, which is not the best use of limited borrows.

Je ne m’attendais pas en 28 pages être aussi captivé au point de vouloir trouver rapidement le 2e tome.

Avec un mélange d’anthropomorphisme où règne également des humains. Le tout en noir et blanc.
