About the series
From 2001 to 2003, NBM published Wake, a five-issue science fiction series written by Jean-David Morvan and Joe Johnson, with striking art by Philippe Buchet. The story explores a future where humanity has colonized the stars, only to encounter a mysterious, planet-sized entity that disrupts all communication and technology. This tightly crafted comic stands out for its atmospheric, cinematic visuals and its thoughtful take on first contact, making it a compelling entry in early-2000s European SF translated for English audiences.
