Pour son premier comics actuellement en vente, le documentariste Patrick Meaney (Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods, Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts) suit Julia, une jeune femme qui a attendu toute sa vie de participer à une aventure jusqu’au jour où elle tome à travers une faille spatio-temporelle. La mini-série Last Born est illustrée par le jeune dessinateur Eric Zawadzki.
A noter que Meaney collaborera avec Matthew Rosenberg sur la mini-série We Can Never Go Home en 2015.

What is it?
What if the Big Bang was not the first of its kind? And, more importantly, not the last?
Her whole life, Julia has yearned for adventure… when she falls through a rupture in spacetime, she finally gets her wish.
Why it’s awesome:
Writer Patrick Meaney has spent years documenting the greatest comic writers, starting with his book OUR SENTENCE IS UP analyzing THE INVISIBLES and continuing with his documentary films GRANT MORRISON: TALKING WITH GODS, WARREN ELLIS: CAPTURED GHOSTS, CHRIS CLAREMONT’S X-MEN, THE IMAGE REVOLUTION, and his upcoming NEIL GAIMAN film.
All the insight he’s gleaned from interviews with hundreds of comics’ creators and scholars are channeled into his own debut book, a speculative science adventure about the nature of chaos in the universe and a ragtag group of civilians rising up to protect humanity.
Newcomer Eric Zawadzki’s expressive yet iconic style grounds Patrick’s sci-fi ideas in the striking characters who carry us through this cosmological thrill-ride.[/quote]
