After The Extraordinary Journeythe duo Filippi Camboni comes back with Prima Spatia, an original space adventure, imagining a universe in which mysterious stellar creatures hide in the confines of secondary space bubbles. These mysterious beings are then chased by teams of astronauts who seek to capture them, risking their lives, to make a very lucrative business.
Until the day the LaFlèche spaceship picks up a survivor named Alba. The young woman, of high lineage, seems endowed with strange powers, which she does not control herself.
This first album therefore serves as a presentation, installing the protagonists in their costumes, without really letting the full potential of the scenario express itself. The plot remains discreet and is only in its infancy. We bet that the sequel further develops the main plot by following the trajectory of Alba’s character.
The design is signed by Filippi, rich in detail and vibrant colors. A radiant graphic universe full of energy!
A case to follow, then!
