Dialogue-less from France

I picked up a discounted graphic novel at my LCS the other day:


It was marked at $4.99, when the cover price was twenty bucks more. It takes place in a dystopian future society in which there are two competing corporate overlord companies that make life rather lame for the denizens. Or so it seems.

On the cover in this preceding picture is a briefcase that, when opens, houses another dimensional realm, like more of the ship of the aliens that crash land in the opening scene. It is decided that it should be used by the blue company/overlord against the red/black company/overlord.

The scenes play out in an episodic form until you can tell that they are all related.

Another very creative element is that there is nor dialogue in this graphic novel: the story unfolds in action only, and that underscores that it was written by Frenchmen Lucas Varela.

It was a gem discovery, for sure.
