An era-jumping murder mystery set in London, now a Netflix series!

LONDON, 1890. As Jack the Ripper stalks the streets, Inspector Edmond Hillinghead-the city’s most diligent detective-applies his skills to an even harder case. The victim is an unidentified male. The killer may have powerful allies. And Edmond’s darkest secret may be exposed if he gets too close to the truth….

LONDON, 1940. As the Blitz rains bombs down on the city, Inspector Charles Whiteman reigns over its streets. He escaped the Nazis in Poland only to run the very rackets he’s supposed to shut down. But when he discovers a mysterious murder victim, his double life may be destroyed…

LONDON, 2014. As racist rioters wreak havoc in the name of their prejudiced patriotism, Detective Sergeant Shahara Hasan leads the fight against them. As a Muslim cop, she’s English to the core. But the corpse she’s uncovered may reveal something rotten deep below the surface…

LONDON, 2050. As the mind-scrambling pulsewave plagues the last survivors of a terrifying techno-apocalypse, the amnesiac young woman known only as Maplewood can barely understand the body she’s discovered. But this ritual killing is identical to those from decades past-and the link between them all is stronger, and stranger, than anyone could dream…

In BODIES, writer Si Spencer teams up with Meghan Hetrick, Dean Ormston, Tula Lotay and Phil Winslade-four incredible artists, one for each era-to slice open the modern murder mystery and uncover the strange secret heart within! Collects issues #1-8.

Ideia era boa e morreu na praia

Não li só o #1 e sim a HQ completa. A ideia foi o que me chamou a atenção, porém, a execução da história ficou bem a desejar.

O conceito que amarrava todos os personagens aquele corpo fica jogado, os protagonistas não tem tempo hábil de serem apresentados corretamente, informações importantes ficam relegadas a balões explicativos e não fazem parte da história e leva muito tempo com coisas que não são relevantes.

Fora que a arte não me agradou. Entendi que cada estilo de quadrinista representa uma época, mas, não gostei. Aí complica conseguir se conectar com um quadrinho que você só acha feio.
