Sillage (the English title is Wake, as in "the current caused by a passing ship") is a French science-fiction comic written by Jean-David Morvan and illustrated by Philippe Buchet.The eponymous Sillage is a giant convoy of spaceships traversing the galaxy. The protagonist of the series is Nävis, the only human Sillage ever encountered. She was raised by robots on an uncivilized jungle planet after a spaceship crash. After initial difficulties — due to her lack of psychic powers she is not recognized as a person at first — she joins Sillage as a sort of special agent.While there are bigger themes tying the series together — mainly Nävis trying to find out what she is — each album is mostly self-contained. Often using different planets that are visited as settings, the feel of the series can change a lot from album to album.There are three spin-off series, but so far, none of them have been officially translated into English. Nävis has a humorous tone and deals with Nävis' childhood. Les Chroniques de Sillage (Wake's chronicles) is a series of short stories set between chapters of the main story. Sillage Premières Armes deals with Nävis' training to become a Sillage agent. There are also two art books, BlockBuster and 1000 Nävis, which literally has 1000 images of Nävis. | |

| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_1111322f | comment |
Far East: One of the planets visited by the fleet is basically an alien version of early Meiji Japan, complete with samurais, geishas and badass martial arts masters. For added reference, the ships sent down as emissaries by the fleet are black (like Perry's "black ships"). | |

Little Miss Badass | |
| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_166e33f3 | comment |
Nävis. In the first couple of stories she even qualifies as a Little Miss Badass; and if she no longer does in later episodes, it isn't for lack of badassery, but because she grows up into actual womanhood. | |

Blood Sport: In the 13th book Nävis is forced to take part in a series of extremely dangerous illegal races, a large event in which the racers are dropped on random planets, trying to get the best time while avoiding the local police and civillian traffic, with extra points for pulling particularly crazy stunts. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The series begins more or less at the middle, but when comes the planet smuggling arc, it dives headfirst in full cynicism and keeps going further with each book. But once the arc concludes, the series starts regaining some idealism, and is now back to the middle. | |

The Casanova | |
| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
The Casanova: Consul Enshu Atsukau uses his superlative, unblockable telepathy for two things: the most delicate (and therefore lucrative) of diplomatic missions... and getting himself a huge harem of women from virtually every sentient, somewhat humanoid species part of Sillage. This changes after meeting Nävis (even he can't reach her telepathically), and he becomes a creepy(er) Stalker with a Crush for her. We later learn that his whole species used to be like that. Unfortunately, their psychic powers were much sought for by schemers within the fleet. When they failed to recruit them for their cause, some of them decided the species too dangerous to leave out of their control and had it purged by a bunch of One-Man Army assassins. | |

| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_73418f96 | comment |
Psychic-Assisted Suicide: In one of the later books Atsukau intimidates a gangster into helping him by entering his office and forcing the gangsters that surround him to shoot each other. On another occasion he inverts the trope, using mass suggestion to turn a battle between natives into an improvised football game... calmly commenting that in his old days he would have forced them to eat their own guts. | |

Horrifying the Horror: From his first appearance, the Yiarhu-kah is an alien horror, cutting a bloody swathe through secondary cast and coming within inches of taking Nävis' brain.

Obviously Evil: The Yiarhu-kah — hunched, Lean and Mean aliens with deep red skin and white carapace that make them look like a cross between a praying mantis and a human skeleton, covered with Spikes of Villainy which they can shoot at people. Subverted with the last of the Yiarhu-Kah, who looks almost the same except for the spikes, but has a much deeper sense of honour and morality ever since he was beheaded in battle. He also states that his brothers had lost their ways. | |

Designer Babies: It's implied within the main series and especially in the side-stories about her childhood that Nävis herself is one, part of a "special caste" that was artificially made. Book 20 reveals that Nävis is a "Whipe", an entire Servant Race of "imperfect" humans who are dedicated to labour and warfare. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Consul Enshu Atsukau uses his superlative, unblockable telepathy for two things: the most delicate (and therefore lucrative) of diplomatic missions... and getting himself a huge harem of women from virtually every sentient, somewhat humanoid species part of Sillage. This changes after meeting Nävis (even he can't reach her telepathically), and he becomes a creepy(er) Stalker with a Crush for her. | |

Action Girl: Nävis. In the first couple of stories she even qualifies as a Little Miss Badass; and if she no longer does in later episodes, it isn't for lack of badassery, but because she grows up into actual womanhood. Wake in general employs agents from almost all of their species, spanning the entire gender spectrum(s). Nävis' foat-like-ish friend Bassachy knows how to drive a Tank-Mech, is an excellent racer, and a Wake infiltrator. | |

Last of His Kind | |
| Sillage (Comic Book) / int_e26f04b4 | comment |
Last of Her Kind: Played with multiple times. She's the sole survivor from her planet, but we're pretty certain that she is NOT the last human being in the galaxy. In one of the spinoff's short stories, it is revealed that there was another human being who survived her spaceship crash. Sadly, he didn't last long. By book 17, there is really only one single last Yiarhu-Kah living in the whole universe. And by book 19, he's dying. Consul Enshu Atsukau himself is also likely the last living member of their species, courtesy of members of the above Yiarhu-Kah species. | |
