Carbon and Silicon are the first of a new generation of robots meant to care for the aging human population. Raised in the protective cocoon of a laboratory, they are eager to discover the outside world but are dramatically separated during an escape attempt. Lost and alone, they will gather three centuries' worth of experiences, observing the last gasps of humanity facing the ecological, economic, and social disasters that they themselves have created. Faced with this declining world, will Carbon and Silicon manage to find their place? Born in a laboratory in Silicon Valley, two androids named Carbon and Silicon will witness the evolution of humanity. From this dawn of true artificial intelligence, the pinnacle of human achievement, they will directly witness ecological, economic, and cultural crises that alter civilization as we know it. Through their eyes, we rediscover our planet as it reaches the point of no return. The latest project by celebrated author Mathieu Bablet, this ambitious work addresses themes separating artificial intelligence from humanity. A fable about the ravages of capitalism and the illusion of transhumanism. A cautionary tale spanning 300 years of frighteningly plausible future scenarios.

Set in a future where humans inhabit a corporate-run space station, the narrative explores mankind's ambition to create life on Titan while confronting the consequences of their hubris. Over a millennium, the story transitions from Earth's ruins to a seemingly perfect society, revealing the darker aspects of human nature such as consumerism, jealousy, and violence. Through a cinematic style and engaging pacing, the author delves into profound themes, making this science fiction epic both thought-provoking and impactful.

The story follows an immortal former king of Hyperborea who, after a millennium on his throne, embarks on a journey to Mount Olympus to seek answers from the gods about his curse and the possibility of reuniting with his lost love. Throughout his quest, he encounters a diverse array of characters, including gods and goddesses, who help him uncover forgotten truths. Blending intimate character exploration with expansive landscapes, the narrative offers a fresh take on Greek mythology through Mathieu Bablet's distinctive artistic vision.

Set in a shadowy universe where magic practitioners face persecution, a secret organization known as THE MIDNIGHT ORDER emerges to combat demonic threats. The narrative follows agents Sheridan and Johnson as they confront an ancient power, the Seraph, that endangers their mission and tests their moral convictions. This graphic novel, featuring 17 interconnected tales by Mathieu Bablet and contributions from Claire Barbe, blends action with themes of witchcraft and real-world esotericism, offering a unique blend of fantasy and reality.

Existenciální transhumanismus s jemnou romantikou v duchu "Lovce androidů" vytváří silný zážitek. Tento komiks mě hluboce dojal a ztratil jsem se v jeho obrazech a příběhu, který je krásný i děsivý. I když se vás obsah nedotkne tak jako mě, komiks obstojí na mnoha úrovních a zaslouží si vysoké hodnocení. Pokud máte rádi atmosféru Blade Runnera nebo Ghost in the Shell, pravděpodobně si toto dílo zamilujete. Příběh sleduje Carbona a Siliciuse, prototypy nových robotů vyvinutých v laboratoři Tomorrow Foundation, určených k péči o stárnoucí lidi. Jejich touha prozkoumat svět je přiměje k útěku, během kterého se rozdělí. Každý z nich žije svůj vlastní život a bojuje o místo na planetě sužované nedostatkem vody a politickými otřesy. Tento komiks se zabývá otázkami lidskosti, morálky a smyslu existence, přičemž překračuje hranice mezi lidským a robotickým bytím. Rozdíly se stírají, když lidé vytvářejí bytosti, které je intelektuálně předčí. Bablet se zaměřuje na klimatické výzvy a společensko-politické otázky, aniž by byl vtíravý. Dává čtenáři prostor k zamyšlení, ukazuje, kam svět směřuje, a zároveň vypráví vášnivý příběh o emocích. Hlavními postavami jsou androidi, kteří cítí, neboť byli stvořeni k obrazu člověka.
