Reviews

[Artur Coelho · Rating 5 out of 5]

Um regresso ao passado, com a reedição de um dos clássicos cruzamentos dos argumentos negros de Carlos Trillo e o traço espetacular de Juan Giménez. A história é pós-apocalíptica, com um renegado da cidade perfeita onde vive parte da humanidade a regressar a uma posição de poder por ter sido capaz de instrumentalizar as hordes de humanos que sobrevivem na lixeira infecta em que se tornou o planeta. Tribalismos, superstições e as manipulações de quem detém o poder e controla os recursos formam a base do argumento, enquanto o traço de Giménez dá vida ao futurismo cinzento pós-apocalíptico, de ruínas, decadências e violência.
