E.V.E ProtoMecha

In this short-lived 2001–2002 series from Panini France, E.V.E ProtoMecha explores a near-future where a young woman pilots a powerful experimental mecha to defend against alien threats. The story blends sci-fi action with character-driven drama, anchored by the creative team that brought a sleek, European comic sensibility to the mecha genre. Though only three issues long, it stands as a distinctive entry in early-2000s French comics, showcasing Panini's willingness to push beyond superhero fare into original genre storytelling.
