“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

So the design of the suits is meant to be fairly ironic, then? Interesting in the artistic sense, but terrifying in terms of what they represent?

The alienation of mankind from nature (and how to find a way back to it) is a main theme in the Aedena cycle and one of the reasons I always found the story so fascinating.

Funny, I'm kind of obsessed with that theme. It's caused a certain amount of disconnect over the years between myself and my fellow humans, in which it sometimes feels like we're different species. Anyway, I'll have to do another read-through of Aedena one of these days. I guess I was focused on other aspects last time. :S
