The internationally acclaimed best-seller is now finally presented in English! Meet Noa, a so-called Sky Doll; a life-like female android without rights, who exists only to serve the State's needs and desires. But when Noa meets two so-called "missionaries" who aid in her escape from her tyrannical master, all hell breaks loose for our cyborg siren as she uncovers clues that she may be much more than just a robotic toy. The first release in a new partnership between Marvel and cutting-edge French publisher Soleil!
REVIEW by Brian Fisher
My pick for book of the week, and quite possibly the best book released by Marvel in recent memory, Sky Doll is a gorgeously rendered and intriguingly written story. First published in France, and in a masterful and brilliant move on Marvel's part translated and brought overseas for the first time Sky Doll follows Noa, a synthetic creature known as a sky doll as she lives the life of a second class citizen, used for manual labor and carnal pleasures. Sky Doll is laced with biting and derisive commentary on religious politics, sociology and human rights. A book for anyone who likes a healty dose of intellectualism with their comics.
