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

Wait, is there a Scavengers Reign graphic novel, or is it just here because of how obviously in love with Mœbius the show is?

I am sorry, this is just a frame from the show. Maybe there will be one in the future, lets hope so.

or is it just here because of how obviously in love with Mœbius the show is?

That and because of how obviously in love with Moebius I am.

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

[–] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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.
