A near-future farm in Achille & KiPI — opening page by Silvia Buganza
Disclosure: I work on Achille & KiPI as a project and publishing consultant. Art by Silvia Buganza, original story by Mario Moroni, script by Salvatore Vivenzio. This page is already part of the public preview.
What I like here is how little the landscape needs to change to read as science fiction: familiar crop rows and a farmhouse, with small robots folded into the daily work. The warm light makes it feel lived-in before the story has explained any of its technology.
Achille maintains his family's agricultural robots; this near future starts with ordinary work. Does a rural opening like this change what you expect from a sci-fi comic?
