DESCRIPTION:
The immortal gods of Egyptian antiquity have also reawakened to revive their rule over humanity, and they now hover above the crumbling technopolis of Paris in a massive stone pyramid/airship. It's the year 2023 and Alcide Nikopol has been revived from a state of suspended animation after 30 years orbiting Earth. When Nikopol cracks under the pressure of Horus's possession, he is reduced to muttering the poetry of Baudelaire while he wanders the halls of a mental hospital. Choublanc. Horus, the renegade falcon god, takes possession of Nikopol's body, rendering him immortal, and concocts a conspiracy to overthrow the Choublanc regime. Blue-haired news correspondent Jill Bioskop dispatches stories 30 years into the past using a device called a scriptwriter, while she takes pills to eradicate the bloody memories of men she has murdered.

A. Langton said Something different and original. This book is the one of the most origninal works of imagination I have read. If you want to know what it is like, imagine a David Lynch project, like Twin Peaks or Dune, and something written by Alan Moore, with some Blade Runner thrown in, and you have The Nikopol Trilogy.The translation of the book is a bit clunky at times, but the story is great. And the art is detailed, but not to the point of your eyes wandering everywhere. Bilal puts in just enough detail for you to take a closer look at his panels. The colors reflect a grimy, claustrophobic, old city feel.If you have the money and are tired o. Probably should have read the comic before seeing the movie ;) Vampyre Mike So one afternoon I am looking around the net for new Blu-Rays, I keep coming across a movie called Immortel/Immortal Ad Vitam. I see the blue haired lady on the cover, read a few small reviews and bite. After watching the movie I was intrigued and kind of confused all at the same time. I then realized that the movie is based on the first two comic books in a trilogy. I bit again.The comic book(s) are a three part story starring (primarily) Horus the Egyptian God, Nikopol (senior & jr), and Jill (the blue haired lady). The art is a mix between drab and really colorful, hard to describe but the front . Robert Beveridge said Plot good, characters cardboard..
