When I was living in Mexico I made a twice-yearly bus trip north to visit Mom for a week at a time. I slept a lot during those trips (minimum 26 hours on the road, sometimes longer) but every once in awhile I would be awake for whatever movies were being shown. {It wasn't until the final two trips that the bus came equipped with personal screens so that each passenger could pick their own film to watch. During all the other years we sleepy riders watched whatever the driver had programmed for us. To tell the truth, that was much more fun, since it gave us all an extra dimension to our group experience. Well, for whoever was awake and paying attention, that is.}
Anyway, that is where I first met Valerian. The 2017 movie Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets was running and I saw most of it. The movie may not have been a box-office hit, but I thought it was fun and I really liked the two main characters, Valerian and Laureline.
So last year, while in the Central Del Norte in Mexico City waiting for my bus to be called for yet another trip north, I happened to see a graphic novel featuring Valerian. I bought it and discovered that it had three stories most concerned with the City Of A Thousand Planets, which were the main influences for the movie. I never reviewed it, since I was away from the computer at the time, and the book is in Spanish, and I was too lazy when I got home to see if it is even in the GR database.
Anyway again, I recently noticed Valerian: The New Future Trilogy at my favorite online used bookseller so I snapped it up and (finally) here we are.
The Valerian comic ran from 1967 to 2010. The three stories in this paperback volume are: On The Frontiers from 1988, The Living Weapons from 1990, and The Circles Of Power from 1994. I enjoyed them all very much. I really like the interaction between Valerian and Laureline, and the artwork is beautiful. I am sure I will be re-reading both of my Valerian books many times, and I will keep my eyes open for others.
Oh, almost forgot. Here is an interesting snippet from the wiki article about Valerian:
The series is considered a landmark in European comics and pop culture, and influenced other media as well: traces of its concepts, storylines and designs can be found in science fiction films such as Star Wars and The Fifth Element.
The Fifth Element is one of my all time favorite movies, and the third story in this volume is where the idea for Corbin Dallas as we know and love him came from. TOO COOL!!

So another instalment of Valerian and Laureline and I have to say one of my favourites. This edition contains another collection of the classic science fiction adventures and this one for me has particular importance.
You see this is the one that Luc Besson took (and openly admits) inspiration for The Fifth Element in fact the whole set piece with the flying cab is pretty much taken from these pages.
Not only that but there are other reference here too (I will leave that to the reader to find out) which for me demonstrate how cinematic the whole storyline (artwork, story and characterisation) leant themselves to the screen and how impactful this series truly are.
I know what I enjoy and I will be the first to admit I am not literary scholar so I will leave the in-depth analysis to others but the significance of this series cannot be over stated and I am so glad I have had the opportunity to read it. I just need to find the last 2 volumes

Prosiguen las aventuras post-Galaxity de Valerian y Laureline:
"En las fronteras" Un aventura en el presente (1988) de nuestro planeta. Un misterioso agente intenta provocar un holocausto nuclear para restablecer la Galaxity del futuro. Una muy amena reflexión sobre las fronteras y grandes bloques de nuestro planeta, hecha a finales de la era Reagan/Gorbatchov.

I picked this up solely due to the movie coming out.
The movie looks fascinating, and the French graphic novel series it's based off of is extremely ambitious. As a classic of the genre, the book definitely has an old feel to it and is more than a little jarring to a modern eye, but the meat of the story is there and that's basically what matters in this specific instance.
I think this could probably use a modern refresh, truly, but as a classic of the genre it isn't bad at all, and I wish more of them were easy to find in English in order to get more time in this world.

Count it down:
Shitty translation.
Incident heavy.
Awkwardly paced.
Outdated politics.
Fucking amazing artwork.
No sense of irony.
It's all there.
Which makes Valerian something of a classic; an ur exemplary french sci-fi comic, with all that entails; better remembered than read. This is the type of bog standard shit the guys at Metal Hurllant would twist into something transgressive and sublime; OG Japanese manga titans would strip mine for tropes and tricks; Lucas, Jodorowsky, and Dan O'Bannon would rip off for the big screen; and the 2000AD boys club would beat into a pulp-vulgarity plot engine.
One more piece of disposable pop art made obsolete by its decedents, a victim of its own success.

Review to come :)

This volume collects three albums: “On the Frontiers” is a nice adventure with a fantastic intro sequence on a star cruiser, but with most of the action happening on Earth. “The Living Weapons” deals with super-powered beings reluctantly used as weapons on a far planet, and is the weakest album on the book. Finally, “The Circles of Power” is a quest for power on the corrupt Rubanis, with a twist reminiscent of “The Wizard of Oz” – and it also has the strongest narrative of the three.
The stories pick up where we left on the previous volume – Valerian and Laureline are now facing the consequences of the disappearance of Galaxity. It’s interesting that several places, characters, objects and events from previous albums are referenced, which rewards old-time fans of the comic but makes the book slightly less approachable for newcomers.
The star cruiser scene in “On the Frontiers” and the taxi chase in “The Circles of Power” were a clear inspiration for “The Fifth Element”, which is no surprise at all, given Mézières’ involvement as conceptual designer for the film.
I’m looking forward to volume 6 in this wonderful collection – but it’ll be a while before I can start it, because sadly is out of print and so far I’ve been unable to obtain it. I can only cross my fingers that the publisher will print a new edition in the near future, until then I’m stuck :-(

Tenía este tomo arrumbado desde enero de 2019. Leer Valerian es cansado porque es un cómic viejo, con mucho texto explicativo y con tramas un poco confusas. Además me decepcionó un poco que SMASH dejara de publicar cuando solo faltaban el tomo seis y el siete. Así que se quedó ahí por casi dos años.
Pero ahora lo retomo y me gustó bastante. Se nota que hubo un cambio en la manera de hacer cómics cuando se publicaron estas historias. Los colores se ven un poco más vivos pero sin resultar chillones o fuera de lugar, también las ilustraciones mejoraron y el texto se redujo considerablemente. Al mismo tiempo las historias mejoraron, las tres historias que se nos presentan aquí son muy diferentes entre ellas y al mismo tiempo introducen y construyen sobre elementos de ciencia ficción muy fuertes.
En la primera historia vemos cómo afectó a otros agentes la destrucción de Galaxiti. Ver eso me gustó mucho porque le da continuidad a las historias que vimos en tomos anteriores. Además el plan del agente Jal es sumamente ambicioso y casi se sale con la suya. De las tres ésta fue mi historia favorita. Se nota una mejoría en todos los aspectos.
La segunda historia juega sobre el concepto de hacerle guerra a la guerra y utilizar humanos, que además son cirqueros, para crear una inestabilidad política y causar guerra. Me gustó el subtono de ésta historia y cómo nos invita a reflexionar sobre las noticias y lo que vemos a nivel mundial.
La tercera historia es buena pero no entendí mucho el final. El tema de los círculos y el poder se me hizo interesante pero la revelación del círculo del poder me resulto confusa y no tuvo el impacto deseado conmigo.
En general este tomo me dejó con un buen sabor de boca y me hizo enojar un poco que hayan cancelado ésta publicación en México, creo que hubiera disfrutado mucho el sexto y séptimo volumen.

Like many out there picking up a Valerian and Lauriline comic, I wanted to get a taste of the original before the big Luc Besson movie comes out this summer. Funnily enough, I'd never heard of Valerian before, and I'd consider myself quite the comic expert/geek.
This volume jumps right into the story, a couple of strange metallic aliens wander around a casino, which then jumps to our main characters - Valerian and Lauriline, ex-spacio-temporal agents now trapped on 20th century Earth. There are some comments about their future Earth being gone, as well as something called Galaxity. The second story finds our heroes on a desert planet, aiding and protecting a group of marooned circus performers fro the indigenous warrior inhabitants of the world.
Last finds us following V & L on a caper of sorts which drags them into a revolution on a space world.
Does this sound a little confusing? Because it pretty much is. There's no backstory setting up these issues so it can be a little confusing as to where these characters come from and relate to one another. The three storylines don't seem to relate to one another as they are just random adventures without much continuity between them. I felt the last story was the best because it had a Fifth Element sort of vibe to it (which is hardly surprising as this comic was a HUGE influence on director Luc Besson and on the look of TFE.) Is this a good volume to introduce to newbies - certainly not. I felt that the art in some sections had a half finished quality to it.
So I got what I wanted. I'll check out the Valerian movie when it comes along and maybe some more Valerian comics if they happen to pass my way but probably not expend much energy to hunt them down.

En las Fronteras: Después de que Galaxity, y al parecer la raza humana desaparecieran, Valerian y Laureline están atrapados en el planeta tierra sin posibilidad de regresar y con una nave espacial que esta cada vez a punto de destruirse.Las habilidades de ambos les permite ayudar con unas misteriosas situaciones en las fronteras de la tierra y el motivo es sorprendente.
En Las Armas Vivientes vemos que Laureline aún puede llegar a molestarse con las acciones de Valentine, este capítulo realmente no me sorprendió más que ver que la guerra solo lleva a más guerra pero realmente ninguna de las partes gana algo.
Los Círculos del Poder, una historia futurista donde podemos ver e al parecer siempre habrá alguien que quiera estar en la cima del poder para su propio beneficio, y que la traición es parte constante de las esferas altas del poder.
Tristemente este es el último tomo que tengo de esta historia, estoy casi segura de que no continuaron la publicación de la historia y eso es molesto,en ese entonces la edición corría a cargo de Editorial Televisa, espero poder leer el final

Once I saw the preview for this movie come out, I just knew I had to find the comic in my library. This is the only volume available in my library system, so I had to bend my "read from the beginning" rule.
The comic is quirky, fun, and mostly different than the movie adaptation. Valerian and Laureline seem older in the comic and in this particular collection, go on different adventures than in the movie. Some of the characters that appear in the movie are also featured in this volume.
Overall, I think I would have better liked this comic if I had more background in terms of reading from the first volume forward. Perfect for fans of off beat sci fi.

OK, this one was a bit harder to get through, at least partially because I did not read books 9-12. But even without that gap, the first two stories in this collection were pretty difficult to follow, the third story was pretty good, classic Valerian.
"On the Frontiers" is the first story, basically set in our time during the cold war, with a lost time space agent and some weird troubles. "The Living Weapons" have our heroes join a traveling caravan of performers who get caught in a never-ending war. And finally we have "The Circles of Power", the best of the bunch, where Valerian and Laureline try to figure out who's giving the orders in a hierarchical society.

As much as I wanted to be impressed by this, well, I really was not, sadly. Incomprehensible plot (possibly because this was the first book in this series I'd ever read, courtesy of its availability at my local library...but, nah, still a mess) artwork only slightly above the average newspaper comic. Amusing villain in the last story channeling Kiss's Gene Simmons circa 1975 one of the very few memorable images.
3 Stars giving this one the benefit of the doubt, and in hopes the upcoming movie being released in two months is better than the trailer.

Another superb collection of stories that finds Valerian and Laureline essentially out of a job with the Galaxity being destroyed and just trying to make ends meet in the universe. Christin finds some fun new directions for our heroes, as they still try to do the right thing, even if it is no longer their job. Jean-Claude Mezieres art is equally exciting, delivering a nice mix of science fiction settings and the aliens to go with. A truly unique science fiction comic that everyone should try.

"Over ukendte grænser", "De levende våben" og "Magtens cirkler:
Galaxity er forsvundet, Linda og Valentin flakker rundt i universet som lejesoldater - naturligvis altid på det godes side (i hvert fald Linda), og klarer da også at afværge en atomkrig på Jorden, redde et omrejsende cirkus fra krigen mod krigen og de hornede beboere, og få afsløret tomheden i magtens cirkler, hvor gamle kendinge som shingouzerne og gnavpotveksleren igen er på banen.

Wonderful design and a feast of creativity.
On The Frontiers is a bit awkward and slow paced, but the design is worth it. Living Weapons is definitely less awkward and while still a bit slow the storyline is entering. However, The Circles of Power is definitely a thumbs up. The characters flow, the dialogue flows, the story is entertaining , the universe is marvelous and the art is extraordinary.

Considering its vintage, this holds up better than I expected, although the translation seems more modern. The artwork is fantastic. Fans of STAR WARS and FIFTH ELEMENT can easily see the influence this has had. Elements from the recent film are there, although minor and scattered. Still, a worthwhile introduction to this highly regarded series.

I would rate it higher but this book was described as a great jumping on point.
So, this starts after the universe has been destroyed and rebuilt. The main characters and their main villain find themselves the only people that remember the previous universe. Oh and the organization they worked for never existed. DO NOT START WITH THIS BOOK! To this day I have no idea what the first volume is.

Not a real fan of graphic novels or most science fiction so my opinion doesn't really count. I found it difficult to follow. I just wanted to get a familiarity with the characters before the movie came out.

I remember reading the first Valerian book as a teenager in the 1970s. It was great then. Reading these later stories now, I find them too jumpy and the kind of Star Wars sci-fi I don't enjoy anymore. 2 stars for the story, but an extra star for the amazing graphics. Beautifully drawn books.

9.5/10 nice full colour art that felt at times good enough to blowup and frame. Less wordy than the fourth volume which was good. Last story has the taxi cabs that inspired parts of the bruce willis film the fifth element.

Um did t like it as much as I thought I would, it's very old school French/Belgian style sci-fi comic.

Valerian and Laureline sure do get into some hi-jinx. Especially now that they're poor and planetless. Man, I love these comics...

Again, for mature audiences. The French simply don’t care for modesty. However the stories are engaging again, and have some interesting political commentary that’s surprisingly modern still.

Again, amazing! Do I need to say anything more?? I think not.

It feels to have lost the commentary on its contemporary society. Which is a shame as that was the basis of much of its wit. A reasonable read none-the-less.
