Love Love Love - Volume 2 - Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Love Love Love - Volume 2 - Bang Bang Shoot Shoot | Kid Toussaint
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Against a backdrop of growing instability in 26th-century Paris, Elle, a young woman with a strong sense of justice, and Karel, her android boyfriend, fight to stay together. If they're going to have a future, they firstly need to resolve Karel's planned obsolescence—his life expectancy has been mysteriously plummeting ever since he met Elle. They decide to flee the capital and head for Madrid, where they hope to find the scientist who can purportedly fix Karel's rapidly dwindling battery life. But it promises to be a bumpy ride, with the police and a malicious spare parts dealer hot on their trail, not to mention the enemies they make along the way. A thrilling second entry in the series, marked by class struggle, social justice, and love against all odds.

In volume 2 of this graphic novel series, robots are mostly forbidden from participating in society in 26th-century France. This injustice leads to protests—and the violent suppression of any revolutionary action. All of which leaves a human and robot couple, Elle and Karel, on the run from authorities. I‘m eagerly awaiting the third and final instalment, which is coming out later this month. Translation from French by Montana Kane.
