Beautiful wonderful art, truly unique and original. The story leaves a LOT to be desired.

Not as beautiful, creative, or subversive as I’d hoped it would be. The premise is so queer; the execution is painfully heterosexual.

I like the Le Monde d'Edena ("The World of Edena," published in English as The Aedena Cycle) it’s my favorite series by Mœbius. It has Sur l'Étoile (The Star), Les Jardins d'Edena (The Gardens of Edena), La Déesse (The Goddess), Stel, and Sra. But unfortunately I think this book is incomplete with the final part of the series missing from it, Les Réparateurs (The Repairers). Perhaps I’ll have to just get the French version and muddle through it with Google Translate.
Mœbius's art is as beautiful as always but what makes this series special is the scifi concept of losing touch with the animal/physical/natural aspects of what makes us human in a neuter, over-processed, driven, society.
"The strength of these science-fiction stories lies in the fact that Moebius uses them to pose questions about dreams, nutrition and health, biology and sexuality, the human desire to live in a structured society, and archetypal good and evil. All of these more philosophical elements are organically embedded in deceivingly light stories, allowing the reader to page through the different layers."

If you treat this like a giant trippy art book and don’t think too much about the character arcs, you’ll have a great time!

Visually amazing and masterful. However, I didn’t find the story to be fulfilling or complete.
