Metal Hurlant Chronicles is inspired by the popular comics anthology Métal Hurlant, which in turn inspired the well known fantasy magazine Heavy Metal. Each episode takes place on a different planet - fantastical in its own way - with the common thread between stories being a traveling asteroid that impacts the lives of all it encounters.
Each episode takes place on a different planet and tells a self-contained story, sometimes dark, sometimes grotesque, often with rough humor. It feels like a comic page come to life, with artificial sets and stylized images closer to illustration than realism. The pace is brisk, and every episode gets to the point quickly.
Good for you if you like anthologies with fantastical worlds and a comic book look, and prefer short, self-contained stories.
