Rétine #1

Three battle-ready figures stride forward through a gritty, industrial urban wasteland — a red-corsetted warrior with a katana at center flanked by two armored companions, with the wreckage of a robotic drone at their feet. This French sci-fi series from Stéphane Piatzszek and Iñaki Holgado opens with Guérilla dans la ville basse, promising cyberpunk-tinged action set against crumbling factory towers and a world that looks anything but safe. Published by Soleil in 2012 under their Quadrants imprint, Rétine arrives with a visual style that's immediately striking and a premise — guerrilla warfare in the lower city — that leaves plenty of intrigue to uncover.
