Donjon Crépuscule #103
Armaggedon
La planète Terra Amata s'est arrêté de tourner. D'un côté, l'obscurité totale, le froid absolu ; de l'autre, un désert brûlant, le jour éternel. Les survivants habitent la mince bande de terre où se rencontrent le jour et la nuit. Ce territoire qu'on nomme Crépuscule.

About the author
Joann Sfar
490 books510 followersJoann Sfar (born August 28, 1971 in Nice) is a French comics artist, comic book creator, and film director.
Sfar is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics. Many of his comics were published by L'Association which was founded in 1990 by Jean-Christophe Menu and six other artists. He also worked together with many of the new movement's main artists, e.g. David B. and Lewis Trondheim. The Donjon series which he created with Trondheim has a cult following in many countries.
Some of his comics are inspired by his Jewish heritage as the son of Jewish parents (an Ashkenazi mother and a Sephardic father). He himself says that there is Ashkenazi humor in his Professeur Bell series (loosely based on Joseph Bell), whereas Le chat du rabbin is clearly inspired by his Sephardic side. Les olives noires is a series about a Jewish child in Israel at the time of Jesus. Like Le chat du rabbin, the series contains a lot of historical and theological information.
His main influences are Fred and André Franquin as well as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Will Eisner, Hugo Pratt and John Buscema.
From 2009 to 2010, Sfar wrote and directed 'Serge Gainsbourgh: Une Vie Heroique', a biopic of the notorious French songwriter, of whom Sfar is a self-confessed fanatic. The film, which draws substantially on Sfar's abilities as a comic book artist through its extensive use of fantasy artwork, animation and puppetry, was released in 2010 to general critical acclaim.

Pas le meilleur de la série même si ça reste agréable à lire, quelques passages sont un peu bâclés...

Ce tome me perturbe. D'un côté, la couverture et le début m'enthousiasment beaucoup, et d'un autre côté j'ai trouvé l'histoire trop bordélique et trop déconnectée des deux tomes précédents. Trop centrée sur Le roi poussière exclusivement aussi : je sais qu'il s'agit d'une partie d'un tryptique et que Marvin Rouge sera traité dans un Monsters mais je trouve ça un peu décevant pour cette série.

Immer noch unentschieden.

That's more like it. Es geht flott dahin, die Fledermaus ist wieder dabei, und es ist unterhaltsam und es gibt Action...

De vergelijking met Asterix op de achterflap gaat echt niet op. Dit is een braaksel van absurde ideeën, soms grappig.
