At the time this was published, this story was heralded as the first new story by Enki Bilal in the pages of Heavy Metal since the mid-80s. Artistically it’s a big departure, chalk and minimal spot color on bluish paper. Storywise, it’s very slight, but I do like the design of the little seahorse-shaped drone floating next to the man in the middle of the page.
