Estela, vol. 3: engranajes : Wake: Gearing Up (Estela-Wake)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Navee is assigned a mission by Wake to investigate the steam-punk world of planet TRI-JJ 68. It1s a glacial planet that had been inhabited by a nature-communing, peaceful lot that Wake simply passed over as unworthy. But in a recent pass, they discover that suddenly a whole civilization has sprouted and reached up to its industrial age, and this in record time! Wake is now intrigued and so is Navee, as these new inhabitants closely resemble the race of which, up until now, she had been the only representative: humans! Has she found her own people? The artwork is exceptionally good. The story line quite complex and intelligent. --SF Chronicle
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
