PVS - haven't got it myself yet, will let you know, but the preview page I've seen is very different from Ledroit's stuff.

[DavidXBrunt]

Hold on a few weeks and it'll turned up in newsagents with a back issue packaged with it for the same price.

Ugh. Really disappointing to go to that from Ledroit's work...

[paulvonscott]

At looks okay to me.  Nothing wrong with being different.

Oh, not at all. I just find this disappointingly bland and characterless after Ledroit - and it has a bad case of "floating tits" that's guaranteed to irritate me ;-)

[paulvonscott]

This is France...

Yes, tits are portrayed quite strangely in comics :) but then so are lots of things.

[Leigh S]

Yeah, darned Continentals - theres a definite Eurotrash vibe to those floating abominations! Does look a little disappointing after Ledroits stuff, but a change is as good as a rest maybe.  Just good to have another comic to look forward to beyond reprints of stories many decades old..

[The Adventurer]

I'm not quite getting the "floating breasts" thing you're talking about. What's wrong exactly?

[The Amstor Computer]

Well, the clearest example on that sample page is in the central panel where the "camera" is looking at the character from the back. Her breasts (as well as being ludicrously disproportionate) appear to be floating in mid-air, or perhaps they're suspended by some invisible bra...
