De plus en plus, les auteurs arrivent à faire utiliser les problématiques que nous rencontrons ici sur Terre dans un univers ou justement les Terriens sont absents...

Continuación de la serie. Entretenida y con un dibujo espectacular.

4+5 reviewed together (read English duo but sold for these)
I rate tome 4 as a regular *****
Tome 5 qualifies for my exclusive "masterpiece" shelf!
Story: *****
It just occurred to me that I can't review both of these appropriately without losing my afternoon. Too much to say. Just trust me and read them. I'll be brief:
The first would actually not take long because it's the kind of action and intrigue that nobody could possibly regret reading- objectively attention grabbing too difficult not to enjoy.
It's the second which is so intelligent and emotionally moving that I would ramble on for paragraphs of laborious lauding. It forcibly tackles the massive subject -that "first world" thinking mostly ignores and obfuscates because it is led to view it improperly- which is the intimate plight of the desperately poor and disadvantaged. Most effectively, Morvan allows the reader to see the issue through a mindset that is woefully absent from "popular psychology"
Art: *****
Undoubtably, Navee is BOTH the most adorable and exciting female in all my international and domestic reading of somewhere around 3400 books (not issues). Her facial expressions and body language are the loudest and most captivating. Even Morvan, the writer, must be shocked at how well Buchet has modeled the effervescence and spunk of his character.
These two tomes are no different. Especially the latter in which pages 4-5 are an open->book->spread->across setting that places her in 23 panels as she tours through the setting with a different excited pose in each. I've never seen such a dense representation of character. She is captured in what amounts to a music-free ballet of kinetic excitement that is endearing beyond proper description- she is emotionally and visually mesmerizing. Then, the genuinity of a ten-panel appearance apology must be mentioned as well. Perfect.
Both of them also highlight Buchet's command of species diversity. I cannot imagine being able to create so many different creatures- I'd bet that there were 100 between these two alone. The impossible to name tome had an absurd amount in a huge gathering of representatives from the totality of the Wake's population.

Je vous aurais bien indiqué le titre de cet album, mais mon clavier n'a pas les touches adéquates pour ça. Ce cinquième volume de la série de science fiction Sillage par Jean David Morvan et Philippe Buchet est paru initialement en 2002.
Nävis est de retour de mission quand on lui annonce qu'une grande exposition sur les Terriens a été organisé à partir des informations contenues dans le vaisseau où on l'a retrouvé. Seulement, le discours inaugural est perturbé par le suicide en direct de l'ambassadeur Ftoross. Ce peuple est à la fois majoritaire dans le Sillage tout en étant le plus pauvre. Pour tout dire, il se meurt car on refuse de lui fournir des médicaments de peur de faire effondrer les prix de ce dernier et faire perdre beaucoup d'argent à l'industrie pharmaceutique.
Nävis est très perturbée par ce coup d'éclat mortel quand elle est prise en otage par un commando de Ftoross.
Une excellente histoire aux relents sociologiques très forts toujours servi par un dessin sublime et des couleurs éclatantes. Un bon moment de bande dessinée et de science fiction.

This one was a "the poor are desperate for help and the rich won't help them" story. It's a noble idea, but the storytelling felt heavy handed.
Also, I don't much care for the storytelling device of "the character we know is more important than an entire race of people, so we must do whatever is necessary to protect that one person."
This issue has an incredible two-page spread where the characters move through panels that are all one contiguous drawing of the interior/exterior of a ship. It's a beautiful piece of art, so well designed and executed. The artwork in this series never disappoints.

Heti alussa on ehkä yksi sarjakuvan historian hienoimpia aukeamia, Buchet tekee aivan mahtavaa flowta ja kuvakerrontaa! Tarinakin on diipimpi kuin yleensä ja sarjakuvalle aika isoissa saappaissa, mutta toimii lievästä alleviivaavuudesta huolimatta.

J'ai beaucoup aimé la thématique de ce tome. C'est la première fois qu'on aborde la pauvreté de cette façon dans une BD de SF. J'ai été touchée.

Ils sont des milliers � constituer un formidable convoi spatial lanc� � la recherche de nouvelles plan�tes habitables. Dans ce convoi nomm� SILLAGE se c�toient toutes sortes de peuples d'origines et de croyances multiples. Mais une race y demeure inconnue : les �tres humains. Le peuple FToRoSs survit dans une mis�re crasse au fond de v�ritables "Bidon-nefs". Devant l'indiff�rence des ethnies dirigeantes de Sillage, certains ressortissants pensent que le terrorisme est le seul moyen de faire entendre leurs revendications. Quatre d'entre eux envisagent alors de marquer les esprits en �liminant une race enti�re de la surface du convoi. N�vis fera tout pour emp�cher ce g�nocide qui la touche de tr�s pr�s, et ce avant que ne r�sonne une nouvelle fois le cri des martyrs FtoRoSs.

La bande dessinée continue sur la même lancée. On suit les aventures de Navïs à travers différentes planètes. Celle de ce livre est du style du Moyen Âge. Navïs est ses compagnons doivent retrouver des ambassadeurs de Sillage qui ont disparus. Ils feront face à une population qui leur est hostile et qui les considère comme des démons.
On a toujours droit à des beaux dessins et une bonne histoire. C’est une BD divertissante qu’il ne faut pas comparer à ce que fait Alan Moore.
