The Collected Fantasies, Vol. 7: The Goddess by Mœbius
5.0
"The Goddess" is possibly my favorite volume of all the Moebius collections (vol. 5 close second). Concluding the overarching Aedena storyline (which begun in the first volume) in a grand way, dealing with sense of self and societal oppression of it. Also featuring the jovial looking 'nose people' - ever clever both for the distinctive design and for the concept of 'face wearing'.
And the art is perhaps most uniformly phenomenal throughout (even if Jean themself points out disparities in stroke, and sees fault in the method of coloring - such is the artist's self-scrutiny. While recognizing this complaint from technical perspective, I also find the softness which the coloring brings to the lineart to be rather a pleasant factor).
