“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

Oh, interesting. From the previews, I'd thought that the show's fauna consisted solely of LEO-like creatures.

I agree that LEO was probably a strong influence, just like Moebius and Alien. I also think they really found their own style with the ecosystem they created, by how they mixed different influences and then added their own twist.

This series started as an [adultswim] short called Scavengers. "Reign" was added afterward to make it distinct from what was effectively the pilot, which had a more minimalist approach but featured the same themes that were featured throughout the series.

Loved both. Definitely recommend the Scavengers pilot AFTER the main series Scavengers Reign though.

Also liked both but liked the series better, which is not surprising as it was a much bigger project, so they could polish it much more.
