well written sci fi adventure of captain Neel, who had left earth long decades ago and had gone to the depth of space. she had even sacrificed her daughter. She wakes up from hyper sleep when a distress signal came from a mysterious & wild moon - aion. there are some experiments happening at the forest moon which captain neel is not well aware of accurately.
this book also features androids giving it a perfect sci fi look. this is a short, quick and compact read for everyone. Moreover, the graphics were visually pleasing and were apt with the storyline. the plot was really solid and it also portrays how captain neel, is so strong and brave to fight for her own. there are many chains of events happening again & again in this book. i finished this book in one sitting. It was really engaging and easy to digest.
I really hope that this will have its sequel as I am curious and afraid as what happened to her little daughter.

In a far-future world and in the far depths of space, a distress signal is sent out from the moon of Aion. Captain Lexi Neel is awoken from hypersleep by her android assistant in order to answer this call. A sketchy time travel experience later, Lexi finds herself thrown into the unexpected opportunity to return home to her daughter, with whom she sacrificed years of time with in order to procure her a better life. But not everything is what it seems on this strange moon and within the research facility on it. Aion by Ludovic Rio is definitely a graphic novel that draws you in.
I was kind of surprised at how blown away I was by the majority of Aion, having kind of expected this to be a story that I enjoyed and moved on from rather quickly. But with some fascinating plot twists, I found that it was incredibly engaging and even managed to stick with me for a while after I finished it. The story, overall, is a brilliant one that keeps you engaged and really takes you by surprise. I genuinely did not anticipate the plot twist at all and I think the moments leading up to it really helped to keep me from figuring it out.
The artwork was beautiful throughout and did a magnificent job of telling the story where the text disappeared. It's an interesting piece to it all, since most graphic novels I read don't have nearly as many illustrations without dialogue, but it works well with the overall theme of Aion. And I think, overall, I just really loved how it was incorporated. Silence in a graphic novel is something unique and new for me and overall a really fun inclusion.
I was definitely impressed by the majority of this story and excited to see the unexpected turns that it took. I love the conversation that it derives from, which is the question of how far should we go for science. I also loved how the conclusion slowly came about, the feeling of trust that Lexi exhibited from the start changing over time. While I will admit that I feel the ending was much too abrupt and didn't really tie up the story--odd, since I suspect there won't be a sequel--as well as I would like it to, it is overall one of the more impressive graphic novels that I've seen.
In fact, I'd love to see this as a full novel or even a film, as I enjoyed it quite a lot.

4.5 stars.
IT'S GREAT. Thanks Netgalley!!
Such a quick, compact read and I wish there was more!
Lexi Neel is captain of a spacecraft transporting merchandise from Earth to planets of deep space. The ship is halfway to her destination when she is taken out of hypersleep because of a distress signal from a forest moon called Aion. In the deep wilderness of Aion she meets an android at a mysterious research facility and gets caught up in something quite unexpected.
A great sci-fi graphic novel! I feel like it's easy to digest and very exciting, fast-paced because something unexpected and frankly, kind of brutal happens and you just want to uncover what's going on! It also poses an ethical question: How far are you willing to go in the name of science?
Sitting here, writing this review I'm wondering: What about Lexi's little daughter??
Aion is this wild, untamed forest moon and we get to see some of it's alien wildlife, which I enjoyed a lot!
The colors are fantastic and the art style really resonated with me.
Like any great sci-fi story, this one left me with a chill, some questions and wanting more.

A very interesting concept and I love the execution. The twists in it and that ending was really good. The artstyle was fine but the backgrounds were stunning.
The story is about Lexi who wakes up from a hyper sleep because of a distress signal. When she goes to investigate, she finds that the lab is in a dire state and the engineer there is dead. Just as she picks up the engineer's notebook, the Android taking care of the place sents her back in time and the story gets more interesting as it goes on.
The only thing I didn't enjoy in this book is the repeated panels in some pages.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.

Una lectura que me ha tenido completamente intrigada con un dibujo sencillo pero efectivo y logra crear una atmosfera que te atrapa mediante finales de capitulos muy efectivos. Si le pongo algún pero es en su tercio final, quizás algo precipitado para lo interesante del planteamiento.

In short, Ludovi Rio’s Aion is for sci-fiction lovers. Showing an influence from everything from Alien to Prometheus, this graphic novel focuses on one Captain Lexi Neel, a woman who we later understand to be a woman nearly lost to time. Lexi left her home on earth, her daughter and all she’s know for a trip to space that will be at least two decades long. We learn that she jolted out of hyper sleep years ahead of schedule because of a distress signal. This leads her to a mysterious moon named Aion home to much: exotic wildlife, some great views and only one other human, a scientist on a research station. Spending time with the scientist there and his android lead to several discoveries—some are more hopeful and yet terrifying.
The art for this graphic novel is handled by Rio as well and while an argument that much of the book is dark, I think it is fitting—the space stations and Lexi’s space spice aren’t vibrant in color. The outdoors of Aion looks unique with foliage and creatures that are fascinating to look. Colorist Christian Lerolle works with the often lifeless interiors of the space station and makes certain scenes stand out. Back to the art: there wasn’t an big emphasis on the facial expressions but the body language was key to figuring out what was happening on certain pages. I did love how certain sequences were paneled and silhouettes were certainly masterfully done throughout the book. I especially loved the opening pages of the book where Lexi emerging from hypersleep on her ship. There’s also some really neat visuals to see in her final confrontation with the man who becomes her nemesis on Aion.
The narrative is a bit hard to follow later in the book but it is clear that Lexi has been fooled and she starts working in crisis mode. There’s a plot thread involving androids, A.I. regarding the duty to protect human life and free will that doesn’t completely get fleshed out. I didn’t feel that I truly got a chance to get to know Lexi which was a shame as I love to see female protagonists, especially in science fiction settings and yet she didn’t feel completely fleshed out to me as a reader. The ending did not satisfy me and there was entirely too many loose ends, it had me wondering if there was a loss in translation moment as I reread it. Overall, not a terrible read. A narrative that could have used more meat on the bones and more emotional weight to immerse me as a reader. Recommended 12 and up for this one, folks.

This comic is great both in the story aspect and the visual one. The story seemed a bit too similar to alien for me in the beginning but it took a turn I was not expecting, and the story turned into something very different that I enjoyed a lot!
I have to say that the plot wasn’t really as shocking as it pretended to be, but that didn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy it. I liked it because it made sense, and it fit what the story was meant to be.
I’d love to read more things like this.

This was an interesting look into time travel. I honestly can’t say much more as anything would be a spoiler. I loved the art style, and this is what drew me to give this a try. This was visually pleasing and had a solid story although this was quite short. I’m not sure if this is going to be a standalone or a series but I would be interested to see how they would continue.

The year is 2312, a future in which we live together with Androids. We follow the story of a woman that gets woken up from Hypersleep on the way back to Earth. due to a distress call that was received and needs to be investigated. We explores the possibilities of space and time travel in this great adventure that was the perfect mix of scifi and basic human relationships.
I can recomment this title for any scifi fans out there that enjoy a good story and beautiful illustrations.

4,5/5. This was good, don,t want to say to much because the middle of it caught me off guard and I think this is part of the experience. Good science-fiction graphic novel with interesting elements, nothing that goes in new territory but a fun walk in a pleasing neighborhood!

Full disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book from NetGalley. Originally published at Full of Words.
Ludovic Rio’s Aion is a simple but competent sci-fi story. There really isn’t very much to it, but that minimalism isn’t necessary a mark against it; instead, the book takes a few basic elements and delivers a solid genre piece that explores the ethical boundaries of technological advancement.
Lexi Neel is a starship captain on a long-haul trip for a major Earth corporation, the only human passenger on her ship. She left her home, her daughter, and everything she knew out of necessity. The book opens when an AI construct wakes her from hypersleep early because the ship’s computer intercepted a distress signal on the planet Aion.
When Lexi explores the planet, she discovers a complex that houses another AI construct, Maxine, and the remains of a dead man, Dr. Elliot Lorentz. Lorentz died months ago, leaving behind nothing but an encrypted notebook. When Lexi picks up the notebook, Maxine warns her that some kind of process is underway and there is no time to explain. Within a few seconds, Lexi disappears into thin air and the real story begins.
It turns out that there is a lot more to the story of Elliot Lorentz, who was a physicist studying anomalies on the planet Aion. The rest of the book follows Lexi as she uncovers the truth behind his experiments.
I read Aion in one sitting, in under an hour. It feels like an old-fashioned story of ideas, reminiscent of classic sci-fi without feeling retrograde. Aion delivers on what it promises, even if the end result is more competent than mind-blowing.
I also enjoyed the art, which mostly exists to serve the story. There aren’t any show-stopper panels, but it also doesn’t distract from the plot or feel like a mismatch for the characters. It’s both minimal and competent, which pairs well with the simplicity of the book.
Aion is worth picking up from the library if you’re looking for something to pass the time for a little while. That said, it doesn’t really bring anything new or exciting to the genre.

'Aion' with story and art by Ludovic Rio is an atmospheric story set on a strange planet with characters with interesting agendas.
Captain Lexi Neel is woken from hypersleep by a distress call from a moon named Aion. On landing, she finds the long dead body of a scientist and an expressionless android who seems to have other plans for her. She learns of the scientists research left in cryptic notes, and his ultimate plan.
I really liked this story. It's a bit on the simple side, but I loved the mood. I really liked the art as well.

The story begins by introducing Captain Lexi Neel, a delivery operater, as she wakes up from hypersleep in space. The android aboard the ship announces that her mission is taking a slight detour to address a distress signal from a former research station on the moon Aion. But a simple mission detour turns into so much more, again and again.
This graphic novel as many elements of the science fiction genre, wrapped up nicely in one short read. The artwork and use of colors is truly impressive and added to the page turning effect. A descriptive review would reveal too much, so I recommend you don't dig too deeply and just dive in! This is a great read for someone looking for something light.

La BD est peu dense en texte, elle se lit donc vite et de manière fluide. La base scifi autour du voyage spatio-temporel est sympa et fonctionne plutôt bien, avec quelques à côtés que j'ai bien aimés comme les androïdes ou les retournements de situation. L'ensemble reste tout de même léger et les personnages m'ont paru peu attachants et peu développés, ce qui a limité mon intérêt durant la lecture. Les graphismes sont agréables et font bien passer l'ambiance, tout en restant simples et faciles à lire.

Aion resulta una pasable lectura para el fan del sci-fi menos exigente. Pero el concepto que muestra ha sido tan explotado que hacía falta "algo" que la diferenciase de tantas otras historias similares. Puede que habiendo trabajado más el componente emocional de la hija de la protagonista... Porque el estilo de dibujo tan "amigable" ha hecho que las escenas que se deberían considerar más turbias no causasen mucho efecto.

Bastante corto y una idea cliché pero aún así entretenida en el género de Sci-Fi.
El final con el androide fue el que hizo darle más estrellitas, me gusto la frase final y ese sentimiento que te deja.
Entretenido y corto, para leerte de una sentada.

Aion is the perfect sci-fi graphic novel. It has space travel, androids, alien life forms and science combined in a great story blend that follows Captain Lexi Neel, who sacrificed years of life with her daughter when she left Earth on a decades-long mission through the depths of space. But her hypersleep journey back home is interrupted when a distress signal takes her on the mysterious moon Aion, home to exotic wildlife and a research station dedicated to study of the moon's "particularities." She might get a second chance at the life she wanted with her daughter, a chance to start over as if she never left, but not everything is what it seems.
It`s an easy read, fast-paced and compact story. While I`ve seen some things coming ( it kind of seems to be the classic story off good robot turns bad and kills humanity, in this case android overriding the program to maybe protect humanity maybe not, you`ll have to read it and find out :D ) it comes with some very unexpected plot twists, which is great and keeps you intrigued in finding out what`s going to happen next. The art in the graphic novel is beautiful and it adds to the experience.
Overall I can`t say I was blown away by it, but I liked the story, I`d definitely pick up the sequel to find out more about it. :)

Aion was such a fun sci-fi comic! The plot was interesting and dare I say, quite unexpected. I love the twist and I'm longing for more when I hit the last page. The art style matches the whole vibes of this story and it was even a bit creepy at some point. I'm especially loving the atmospheric background!

I have started to read this comic expecting it to be a fun short adventure into space and I was left with wanting more.
The illustration is amazing. I have enjoyed every piece of art in this book from full page illustrations to little details. The feeling of space, the ecosystem of the new planet and the time lapses combined made this story into a satisfying Sci-Fi adventure.
The story itself follows Captain Lexi Neel, who follows a distress signal to the research station on moon Aion. Doctor Elliot Lorentz and Android called Maxine are the only ones residing in this station and Captain Neel seems to be the one they were waiting for.
The story of Lexi Neel and Dr. Lorentz as well as Maxine seemed very promising, a lot of space for deep backstories and character development, but it was cut short.
I was left wanting to know more about these people (and androids), how did they reach this point of the story, what happened, what changed, why Lexi was the one Lorentz (?) chose and all the other details this story could have given. But it did not.
I really did enjoy this creation of Ludovic Rio and would gladly read more of his work.
This is my honest and voluntary review for a free advanced review copy provided by NetGalley.

I was left wanting to know more about these people (and androids), how did they reach this point of the story, what happened, what changed, why Lexi was the one Lorentz (?) chose and all the other details this story could have given. But it did not.
I really did enjoy this creation of Ludovic Rio and would gladly read more of his work.
This is my honest and voluntary review for a free advanced review copy provided by NetGalley.
