Un cómic basado en el universo del juego de Infinity de la compañía Corvus Belli.

Panoceanía, primera hiperpotencia de la humanidad, contrata a un grupo de mercenarios para dar caza a un asesino francotirador de elite.... pero no todo es lo que parece cuando tratas al margen de la ley y ni los amigos son tan amigos ni el enemigo es tan malvado

La verdad que me ha gustado bastante la trama mostrando como es el mundo futurista donde se desarrolla el juego y que los gobiernos actúan como grandes compañías comerciales haciendo cualquier cosa aunque sea de moralidad más que dudosa con tal de tener ventaja sobre el resto de naciones y que sus ciudadanos vivan bien.

Acción rápida y directa donde ningún personaje es especial y cualquiera puede morir por tomar una decisión equivocada o por encontrarse en el lugar equivocado.

Es una lectura ágil y endiabladamente rápida sobre un futuro de ciencia ficción no muy lejano que resulta que es la ambientación de un juego de miniaturas que no conozco. Pese a eso la historia se puede seguir bien, y aunque no sale de la trama habitual de espías de "nuestro gobierno nos deja tirados y tenemos que arreglar esto" lo resuelve con oficio y está bien. Dibujo muy bueno, personajes interesantes, recomendable en general.

2.75 Stars - physical book - was ok. I think it was a bit too short to substantially connect with any of the characters. If it was a bit longer or a series I could see myself liking it a little more, although I think the minuscule shreds of humour were a bit flat and the plot a bit simple so maybe not. I liked the gang of misfits vibe, but that didn’t actually last too long and the fight scenes were a little hard to follow. Idk was middle of the road for me.

Great art with a lovely style that mixes Japanese and Western influences. A somewhat interesting film noir story that uses elements of the universe well. Doesn't get too into interesting sci-fi concepts, like the idea of killing a clone of yourself. Overall a good page-turner. Quick and well-illustrated for a Western manga.

This is the first graphic novel (2016) based on the sci-fi world of Infinity, a skirmish-based tabletop game from Corvus Belli. The manga artwork is amazing but not as good as the story that took one unique aspect of the Infinity game mechanic and turn it into a great story set in this intriguing cyberpunk world.

A good short story that focused on some interesting concepts drawn from the Infinity universe. The art is very nice and expresses the story well.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Outrage, and am looking forward to the next instalment!

It was a fun romp into the Infinity Universe. I could almost see in table-top wargaming style how orders are being used, ARO's happening and d20's being rolled throughout the action sequences. ;)

Interesting view into Infinity's lore. Cool action scenes, but hard to follow.

Maybe it’s just cause I’m really into infinity, normally I’m not really into manga / comics but really enjoyed this one

Infinity's first manga, and it's good.

Step into the world of Infinity. It's 125 years into the future and we've reached the stars. Major political factions battle it out in politics, overt-ops and highly mobile skirmish actions. Enter Knauf, a retired sniper for the PanOceanian covert-ops who reluctantly reenters the fray when his past comes knocking.

Overall this was a pretty good story, the art is manga style and quite well done, and for the fans the also is a authors note section of some intrest.

I'm not usually a manga person but I really enjoyed Outrage. It's a gripping introduction to the world of Infinity, both for those who have played the game and those who haven't. I was surprised by the creativity of the big twist, that shocked me while also transporting me deeper into the world and the consequences of the politics at play. I really hope there are more Infinity manga in the future!

A very good start for exploring the world of Infinity. It has a few details. A little difficult to follow. The story moves a little strange at times too. I know it is manga style, but I think I really would have much more preferred a colored version. I hope this is just the beginning for Corvus Belli and the graphic novel format.
