Valérian and Laureline Storytime

>>92720507
Very cool stuff, OP. I'm excited for the movie.

I hadn't realised that each book was a separate adventure. I suppose that makes it easier to digest.

Thanks for the storytime.

Yeah, there is sometimes some minior references to other albums, but you can pretty much pick any album at random and have no issue understanding it, with Brooklyn Station, Terminus Cosmos being probably the only exception.

Despite the similar the name, the issue actually little to do with the movie.

Then again of the other album titles don't really sound very sc-ify .

So relying on people to bump the thread doesn't seem to be working, so i guess is time to change my ip.

From hindsight it may not have been the best idea to start a story time on a Friday afternoon.

>>92720507
What do you think of the movie, judging by the trailers?

Well i love the visuals, but i fear they might try to turn into some kind of epic sci-fi story, which a bit weird since the story they are adapting doesn't really has much action, and i'm not very fond of Valerian casting.

>>92724297

Regardess of the result, i really wish the movies does well and we start getting more of this kind of sci-fi.

I think i may have never read this issue before, or at least i can't remember anything about it.

>>92720507
I was hoping someone would do this!

What a shitty star wars rip off.

I know right, fucking euros even wait till Star Wars began production to rip it off.

Gonna take a break here, will probably come back later to storytime one more issue for today.

>>92720507
phuque oui Valerian et Laureline

>>92720507
Serious bumpage, not enough quality storytimes on /co/. Thanks OP, yer a bonnie lad.

>>92720507
Thanks muh dude

Sweet, thanks anon.

Thanks OP, this is good stuff.

Undecided on the movie. The Valerian actor looks like a 12 year old, and why isn't Laureline in the title?

And that's it, hope you enjoyed, will probably storytime more issues some other day.

Thanks, OP.

Thank you.

I forgot how nice and cartoony the art for this was. Many, many years since I read it.
I'm still not watching that fucking film , though. Ooo, more mildly competent intergalactic sci-fi films, where can I sign up for that?
>Also, Dale Dehaan as Valerian, as a wiser man than myself once said: "BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAAAA!!!

The trailers didn't sell me on the movie. The remix of that Beatles tune is terrible and makes the movie look like a focus-group tested attempt at apeing Guardians of the Galaxy.

The first story dumped here was enjoyable enough. Thanks for the story time OP.

How do you create all these costumes for alien civilizations?

bumping,

>>92737100
Very carefully.

>I forgot how nice and cartoony the art for this was. Many, many years since I read it.
Yes, it's also interesting seeing how the art evolves trough series, which gets progressively less cartoony.

For compassion sake take
rake some random page from first issue:
>>92721756
And compare with some of the fourth issue:
>>92731627

And them compare them with pic related from eleventh issue.

Yeah, definitely gets a lot more realistic (which I wasn't a fan of, t.b.h.). Mezieres is a fabulous artist though, even if his later stuff isn't to my taste...is this one of the first albums? I remember reading, I think, three altogether and being a bit shocked at the art shift, this was a good few years back when I when to France with a Francophile mate and REALLY got into BD in a BIIIIG way, especially the "avant-garde" weird shit that publishers like Fremok, Le Dernier Cri and L'Asso were putting out...slightly off thread but I say this in EVERY fucking BD thread on here, we need more Mattt Konture, J.C Menu and Stanislaus English translations. It's fucking criminal, really. And Killoffer only having one comic (WHAT a fucking comic, though, 676 Apparitions of Killoffer, you familiar with it? His use of black as a design element is up there with Toth, Meskin or Jaime Hernandez imo--anyway that one book and a smattering of comics from MOME, the oldish Fanta anthology--it's terrible, a real sin if you ask me) apart from his Donjon contributions...Emile Bravo is another French cartoonist I like. If NBM can do reasonably well with De Crecy, Manu Larcenet and Kerascoet I don't see why the authors I mentioned would be hard to sell at all. There's a lot of INCREDIBLY distinguished, hugely proficient but kind of ...boring?...genre comics coming out of France, I wish some others would stand up for something slightly,ore unorthodox.

I read Dominique goblet's Pretending Is lying the other day, in the new NYUC edition, and was blown away by the images and mark-making. The story was interesting, nothing particularly new but damn that art--changing style with each chapter, wild as hell in one, restrained and gentle in the next, ghostly and so delicate in the next, like a cloud, like the images themselves could be blown away by a strong breeze...a great book.

Sorry for ranting.

Well i do think the situation is slowly improving, not too long ago genre comics seemed all seemed all that got translated, with very few exceptions, while i recent time i have stared noticing less conventional authors like Sfar, David B., or Blutch getting translated.
What does frustrate me however is how Spanish and latin american comic scene seems largely ignored.

Why are Mouseketeers so retarded?

I am confused
How can Syrte be capital of the empire of a thousand planets and a trade hub without spreading?

>>92743597
Space is a big place, they probably spread as far as they could given their technology.
