Primeiro volume das aventuras atrapalhadas dos detetives espaço-temporais Valérian e Laureline. Divertido e icônico, mas cheio de furos, escapadas mirabolantes e desenvolvimentos improvisados e por vezes inconsequentes. A cidade das águas moventes os colaca numa terra inundada logo antes da catástrofe misteriosa que acometeu a Terra. ( )

3.5 This wasn't bad at all. It all the cool science fiction elements were there. Time-travel, apocalyptic 1980s, shrinking people and villains from the future. The art work was decent too. I liked how some pages were loaded with text, almost more text than image, and others had few to none. I never got board of reading too much or too little.

The story was a bit slow in the beginning, but once it got going it was much better. I would have liked to see more if the futuristic planets and how they function and stuff, but there's the rest of the series for that. ( )

Pretty entertaining story for the time it took me to read (my lunch break) - some casual sexism (was there really any reason for Laureline's body to de-shrink faster than her clothing?) and nothing too thoughtful in terms of sci fi concepts but it was pretty fun. I hope the movie is more entertaining. ( )

Kinda neat to see how the art in these started out. ( )
