Franco-Belgian / Eurocomics Storytime

Reporting in.

I got a day off tuesday, so I'll probably get this done by then.

You are a legend proofreadanon. Obviously goes without saying don't worry about any sort of time frame, do it whenever you feel like it.

I might actually get it done today or tomorrow, depending on the amount of notes. I'm about to wrap up Niko and the Sword of Light and then I'll probably start on this.

Testing if 4chan replaces ä with a.

Did anyone read? What did you think, if so.

Looks like all the burgers are asleep.

>>94099309
I know it's alt history, but Jord/Fjorgyn is not Odins wife, he just knocked her up.

It kinda rustles my jimmies.

>>94104741
Bump because reading ( late to the party )

>>94099379
The chick's name is Clarence?

>>94105359
As you say, maybe in this alt history the stories evolved and she became his wife? Or the author didn't do his research.

>>94105616
Yes. Names work slightly different in different parts of the world. Kim is a male name in here in Scandinavia.

>>94099415
They made them stop and put on little purple CSI booties. It's the little things.

>>94099481
"ensure he plays the game" sounds a bit odd. In America that'd almost certainly be "plays ball" although "plays along" or "plays his part" are also common.

>>94099529
Second to the last panel:
"IIT seems to be inspiring him" either I.I.T. stand for something I missed or you've got an extra "I"

>>94099339
>Performing Republican abortions on all the kids that are black according to Ben

This must be a plot of the Free Coalition of the First People.

>>94099563
>Salmon was 8 pounds
>hare was 15 kilos
I'd stick to one system of measurement here:

A quick online conversion gives that as a 33.0693 lb bunny. Which would be big enough for a small child to ride on, I expect.

Also, that sounded pretty light for a Salmon ( those are the fish you see a 600lb Grizzly bear swatting out of the air ( see image related ); so I googled it aaaaaand:

> scars
I see he didn't make it over the fire one year.

>>94099599
>Jonna wears men's briefs

>>94102553
Book one makes this one seem like a pretty generic attempt at riding the current alt-history trend. The themes here were also done better in The Dance of Time.

>>94105806
>Or the author didn't do his research.

I would assume this. Getting something as basic as that right is usually standard, but this one feels very me-too-ish, so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't bother with proper research.

>>94099855
> monotheism bad! uhn uhn uhn!
> Abrahamic religions are the root of evil
Is this supposed to be ironic? Since their own theocratic authority is what entitles them to kill children in their cribs?

>>94099611
>may Osiris inspire me
>>94099629
>as I construct (a) Yggdrasil
This reminds me of watching anime where they just toss in names that sound cool.

I mean: a data tree being named after The World Tree makes perfect sense; but it's odd that he refers to an Egyptian god rather than Odin or the Norns.

I assume that there's a reason for it here given that the dude's name is Amenhotep; although it might just be to bring home the whole "multiple polytheists" dealio.

>>94099765
That groan face in the last panel.

Fun fact, his name literally means Son of a God

>>94106315
>implying I give a shit what you yanks think
Nah but seriously, 'play the game' is a little old-fashioned, I will probably change it to 'play ball'.

>>94106506
Yeah, typo.

>>94106727
Performing Republican abortions on all the kids that are black according to Ben

I have no idea what this means. Who is Ben?

>>94106919
a) They use the different measurements here.
b) It's always a dilemma when I encounter a factual error like this. I don't want to get too editorial, but I also want it to be right. I'll probably end up calling it like 20, 30 pounds. Also I messed up, it was actually a 25 kilo bunny.

>>94107177
>Not finding boyshorts hot
Do you even thinly veiled homosexuality?

>>94107356
>>94107419
Eh, fair enough, I liked it, but I am a sucker for alt history, it's true. I want to see where it goes. I can't remember much about Dance of Time actually, I feel like I didn't think much to the ending. Need to re-read.

>>94107502
Yeah, I'd say it's just saying something about their characters, that they believe the ends justify the means.

>>94107639
Read on, there's references to Norse-Egyptian geopolitics.

>>94107766
>his name literally means Son of a God

Fuck, does this mean he'll become a messiah despite his own atheism?

>Ben
Anon is probably referring to Ben Garrison.

>weights
Using lbs for fish to make them sound bigger than with kg is kinda fitting for a fisherman. I doubt it's intentional though.

>undies
Achually she's weaing hipsters like pic related :^)

>name
Could be amusing if he ends up being some kind of cult leader and then ends up pulling a The Wave on his disciples.

>>94107891
>I have no idea what this means. Who is Ben?

Benjamin Franklin. Said that the Swedes and everybody else in Europe are part of the coloured races.

>>94107891
> I can't remember much about Dance of Time actually, I feel like I didn't think much to the ending.

Naturally, as it had an open one. We don't know if he ever managed to fix the reality bubble the gods had created for good or if his fuckups kept piling up and eventually led to the collaps of his universe.

>>94108353
Really? But then aren't Americans black too?

>>94099765
>we'll hide the kid and her aunt with the dude that raised them from childhood
>they'll never think to look for them there!
Not the brightest lights on the Yule Tree, these guys.

That was an okay comic to read. When is someone going to translate Ghost Money tome 2? The fifth and final tome came out last year.

>>94099794
Fourth panel:
"After we've been through together?"

I think you a word:
"After ALL we've been through together?"

>>94108382
Nah, he excluded SOME of the English and ALL of the white people in the colonies of his own social strata.

Gotta remember that he was an Englishman, and the original gulag colony system in the Americas was almost still living history so you had to be of the better sort AND English to be considered free white man material.

>>94108549
*included

I'm really sorry to ask this in here, but I've been trying to remember to remember the name of a particular dark-haired lady eurocomic artist, whose characters tend to resemble herself and are often drawn naked. Any of you guys know?

>>94107502
>Is this supposed to be ironic?
The main character of the book is a fedora that gets triggered by the word "gods". What do you think?

>>94099834
>"don't seem willing to have new standards imposed on them so easily"
I'd suggest:
"are resisting/stonewalling/dragging their feet on the new standards"
Or:
"resent having new standards imposed"

Depending on the flavor of the original.

Also:
>"The negotiations are long"
Sounds ... odd. "are ongoing" would be more natural and is typical doublespeak for "we're just spinning out wheels and getting nowhere fast."

>>94099886
Why is that gal laughing when she is saying stuff like this?

>>94107502
>Is this supposed to be ironic?
I'd say so:
1 - The people saying "one god BAD!" are literally babykillers
2 - The hero is an atheist ranting bout how their Gods are false/fake/useless.
3 - going back to point 1 they're also more or less acting out one of the most famous bits from the Birth of Christ from the Christian New Testament:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Innocents

Reminds me of an old Star Trek episode:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_Circuses_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series)

>>94108501
A while ago, I was considering scanlating it, then europe comics started releasing, then they stalled on volume one and seemingly abandoned it, so I considered some more, and now apparently Lion Forge/Magnetic press are going to be releasing it, solicits are for August.

>>94108678
No idea, any details about plots you can remember?

>>94108913
Those do sound good, thanks.

>>94108979
That page annoyed me because in the last panel it looks like the guy who objected is saying the thing in the bubble too. Wow, you certainly are easily influenced, weird headdress guy.

>>94099870
>All will be the Blessed Elders of Osiris
Is this supposed to indicate that everyone (in the room?) will be/become a Blessed Elder? Reads oddly.

>"who indicate the path to follow"
I'd suggest "show the way/path"

>>94099870
Just to add to what I pointed out here:
>>94109214
The dude's name is Amenhotep. If you're rusty on your Ancient History:

"Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaton, meaning "the Servant of Aten" early in his reign. Whereas his father, Amenhotep III, had sought to reduce the increasing power of the priesthood, Akhenaton practically dismantled it. Akhenaton started his reign as most Egyptian kings. But fairly early in his reign he introduced a monotheistic worship of Aten, the Sun God. At first he attempted to place temples for next to temples for other gods. Eventually he closed all the other temples and took their revenues.

In the process of this religious revolution, Akhenaton placed him self as the intermediary between Aten and the people. This helped eliminate the need for the priesthood. As the only one with access to the god, Akhenaten established himself as a god-king and became the first king to be called Pharoah."

>>94099886
>infinite multitude which swarms in the dark
A swarm IS a multitude and "infinite" also means "without number/a fuck-ton" so this is a bit redundant.

Unless, of course, The Infinite Multitude Which Swarms in the Dark is a proper name being carried over from Egyptian ( which actually doesn't sound too far off from some of the titles they gave things ).

>>94099901
>Don't worry, bro.
That sounds like something one college fratboy would say to another; not something a police detective would say to a priest ( even if he is literally his brother. ) I'd either use the full word "brother" or "man." Of course "brother" isn't as slang-y and "man" is generic/not as familiar so it depends on if you're going for "sounds more natural" or "is more faithful to the original text."

>>94099919
You'd think the first thing they'd have done is leak this shit online/to the press.

>>94109319
>i had to google "lush", i'm assuming it's bong slang for a drunk sleeping in detention
Not him, but: it's also common American slang for "alcoholic."

>>94109319
>althing -> alting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Althing

>>94109319
010
Lush just means a drunk, an alcoholic, I'd say it's pretty common.

015
Yeah, we straight up took that word from the French, I think we use it more than the yanks. Might go for nursery. Day care I don't like because not muh version of English.

016
I think Althing is the English way of spelling it, I guess Alting is the real scandinavian way? If so, I'll probably make that change given that we have valbor-consonant-soup.

038
Gravity and severity are pretty much synonyms, and gravity of the situation is a set phrase.

044 p7
Yeah, he's saying religion shouldn't impose its own morality, otherwise slavery blablabla.

>>94109460
The original is 'Tous seront alors les bienheureux aînés d'Ousir'. I don't know how else to translate it, aîné should perhaps be eldest child or firstborn, but I don't see how that makes more sense, any suggestions, peeps?

>>94109729
Swarm can be a verb though, I think used to evoke insects, bugs, disgusting creepy crawlies. The 'infinite multitude' bit is I think used as a reference to Thomas Aquinus' Summa Theologica where he contemplates the nature of god, the possibility of his infinity, etc.

>>94109911
He does say Frangin, which is slangy, and personally, given the situation and his general irreverence, I don't think it's out of character.

>>94110473
Dunno if you saw this in the win-o; but Imma shill it again:
>>94076566

>>94076566
I didn't see it, but no, I'm not gonna translate it, sorry. While neat, it's not exactly what I'd want to translate, and given that the other two are translated, I feel like this will eventually too.
