Storyline: Aqua
Date: June 11th, 2008
Price: $5.99 US
Writers: Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa
Artists: Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa

Synopsis: The internationally acclaimed best seller continues! Finally free from her life of servitude, Noa, our sexy Sky Doll, finds that the missionaries who helped free her may not have her best interests in mind. When the group arrives on an underwater world for a “pit stop”, Noa discovers she may have been left out to dry. But she’s not just some “wet behind the ears” android as she proves she knows her way around weapons and isn’t afraid to use them to insure she’s not soon drowning in a watery grave!

Opinion: Soliel’s Sky Doll series continues to impress as we see more of the universe Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa have brought to life. The character depth mixed with the excellent reign over meticulous facial expressions and the beautifully detailed backgrounds all make for such an excellent book.

This book so far, while pricey; has been exquisite. I would almost say ‘worth every penny’, but $5.99 is just a tad bit too much in my opinion.

Storyline: The Yellow City

Price: $5.99 US

Synopsis: The internationally acclaimed best-seller is now finally presented in English! Meet Noa, a so-called Sky Doll; a life-like female android without rights, who exists only to serve the State’s needs and desires. But when Noa meets two so-called “missionaries” who aid in her escape from her tyrannical master, all hell breaks loose for our cyborg siren as she uncovers clues that she may be much more than just a robotic toy. The first release in a new partnership between Marvel and cutting-edge French publisher Soleil!

Opinion: I first got a glimpse at this comic in Marvel’s sampler, which I picked up on FCBD. The panels struck out at me as a clean style and the snippet of the story seemed incredibly interesting. I knew nothing of Soleil Productions or Sky Doll, so I was very excited to pick this book up and learn more about this character and its story.

I want to reinforce that this issue is not without a couple things to mention. First, it is for mature readers, 100%. Not only for the uncensored light nudity, but also because of the fact that the story is rather mature - and requires a bit of a mature perspective when it comes to comics. Some people might say that’s an oxymoron - but not us. :}
