Für das Imperium

In this 2011–2012 German-language miniseries from Reprodukt, Bastien Vivès and Merwan craft a taut, three-issue sci-fi drama set on a distant, inhospitable planet where a lone soldier fights to survive after being stranded. With Ulrich Pröfrock co-writing, the story unfolds through stark, atmospheric art that emphasizes isolation and the brutal logic of an imperial war machine. A lean, visually striking work, it showcases Vivès and Merwan’s early collaborative energy in European comics.
