Estela vol. 4: el signo de los demonios : Wake: Sign of the Demons (Estela (Wake))
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In a remarkably poignant and topical story, Navee is pressed into service against a group of terrorists bombing at random throughout Wake! The group is an oppressed neglected people whose anger is beyond cooling but the victims they make are innocent... Morvan's conceptual and thematic sophistication is astonishing, the equal of, say, Alistair Reynolds's, and his talents are felicitously matched by Buchet's intricate, dense and amazingly harmonious and astonishing drawings. This series is a winner. --Asimov's
From the Publisher
COMENTARIO/REVIEWS
"Buchet's artwork consistently impresses; his somewhat cartoony, detail-filled style draws on European and American influences. The draftsmanship's neat, precise quality and vibrant coloring, and the book's large size, which allows 10 or 12 panels to fit easily on a page, help the story move briskly." -Publisher's Weekly
"Buchet's art is so colorful, clean, and visually arresting that it is easy to overlook the complexity of the world created by writer Morvan. It is not all original; one can easily spot anime derivations in the art, and the Wake concept has existed at least since Ursula K. Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness (Walker, 1969). These influences merely enhance enjoyment, as there is still plenty of creativity. The bright, vibrant art contrasts with the somber and timely subject matter. Naïve Navee is a perfect foil to examine social and political issues, and she is used to full effect." -Voya
"The artwork is vibrant, lush, and often meticulous in its representation of the intricacies of Navee's world. . . fun, thoughtful science fiction." -School Library Journal
"The art is gorgeous, filled with incredible detail. Wake is sci-fi action-adventure done right, with beautiful art and entertaining, complex stories. Check it out." -Slushfactory.com
"Grade: A. Gives readers their money`s worth by packing in the plot and saturating their worlds with color and detail. Succeeds in making a strong impression." -Oliver Chin, Comics Buyers Guide
"Philippe Buchet's artwork is instantly captivating, a hybrid of manga and traditional European styles that allows for hyper-detailed backgrounds and very expressive characterization. . . an exciting, very entertaining sci-fi adventure." -Cinescape
