comment
The Worlds of Aldebaran (Les Mondes d'Aldébaran in French) is a series of Franco-Belgian comics, created by the Brazilian artist Leo, consisting of three main cycles of albums, plus a spin-off one, published by Dargaud. Each of the mains is name after a separate planet colonised by humans and set on it.Quite "hard" science-fiction, with attention given to the technology of the colonists and the native life of each planet, with a few breaks such as FTL and perhaps the powers of the mysterious "Mantrisse".Each series follows a handful of characters as they face problems both personal and affecting the entire planet. Tends to have a tragic tone, with many of the problems arising from "the follies of humanity". The partial regression of technology among the colonists gives it a visual Space Western feel.

comment
Fair Cop: Officer Nora Hutton is a member of the law enforcement team assigned to project Antares by the United Nations. She's first seen admiring Alexa's handiwork when she saves Mai Lan from an attempted gang rape. The next time we see her is when she frees Alexa from her cell so that she can go and save Kim and the gang, which is when she also informs Alexa of the recent sectarian drift which has cost Hutton her position on the force. Thankfully, she later gets her job back, and even rescues Lorna from her violently abusive parents.

No Biochemical Barriers
 The Worlds of Aldebaran (Comic Book) / int_17058a90
comment
No Biochemical Barriers: Lynn's father is an alien. See Half-Human Hybrid. However, several characters speculate that it was made possible by the changes the Mantrisse brought about in Kim's body. In the third and last episode of Retour sur Aldébaran it's revealed that a precursor species modified proto-humanoids to help them evolve and then seeded them on different planets all over the galaxy. It is unknown if the species was from Earth or from a different planet, so it's not actually certain where "human-like intelligent life" originated yet.

The Sociopath
 The Worlds of Aldebaran (Comic Book) / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: George Dixon from Betelgeuse is a rude and callous man who barely displays any emotion and has a nasty habit of shooting anything on sight, and refuses to acknowledge or understand why that is not always necessary. This eventually culminates in Dixon shooting Kim in the stomach at close range during an argument, after which Steve, the nicest person on the team, finally snaps and gives him a long time-coming, very well deserved No Holds Barred Beat Down.

The brothers Liang have shades of this: Zhou is younger and more reckless, as shown by the fact that he stowed away illegally aboard a spaceship. He's belligerent, as shown when he picks a fight with John Nash, and is described by Zao as favoring violence as a solution to problems. In the end, Zhou steals the rescue team's boat and leaves, never to be seen again and is presumed dead; Zao is older, more serious and responsible, and actively volunteered to be among the first to travel to Antares-5 knowing full well that, should the colonization project fail, he would be left stranded. He also sticks to his principles, as shown when he tells Elijah Thornton where to stick it, and is possibly one of the only male characters who isn't sexually interested in Kim.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Mai Lan is one in-universe (not so much on a meta level). She's introduced in Betelgeuse book 1 happily walking around topless despite being probably in her late teens. The "innocent" part has somewhat gone by Antares, where Mai Lan is now in her twenties and more brazen, in her pursuit of Marc most especially.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Thornton brothers. Jedediah is a self-important religious fanatic while his brother Elijah, head of the Antares colony project, comes accross as more down-to-earth and reasonable. That said, he has no qualms over cutting corners on space travel maintenance (with disastrous results) and lets Jedediah get away with a hell of a lot more than should be acceptable. The brothers Liang have shades of this: Zhou is younger and more reckless, as shown by the fact that he stowed away illegally aboard a spaceship. He's belligerent, as shown when he picks a fight with John Nash, and is described by Zao as favoring violence as a solution to problems.

Animal Eyes: At first glance, the only thing noticeably off about Lynn are her eyes, which have vertical slits for pupils. Kim passes this off as a rare deformity, while Lorna takes to calling Lynn "the lizard baby".

Quantum FTL jumps do that. Each planet is located in a different "place" on the timeline and FTL jumps travel in time according to that position.

Nervous Wreck: Having spent the first volumes of the Antares cycle putting up a tough and no-nonsense front, Deputy Commander Ashley Scott turns out to be this when confronted with the dangerously unpredictable local fauna. Scott admits to Kim that she's terrified of dense jungle environments and creepy crawlies, and that she came along for the expedition as a way of getting over that fear.

Troubled Teen
 The Worlds of Aldebaran (Comic Book) / int_b496fc2c
comment
Troubled Teen: Lorna White initially presents herself as a sullen, rebellious troublemaker. Having secretly snuck out of the Robert Godard via a reserve vehicle with her friend Erwan, she is found by Kim Keller and the Antares-5 recon team and proceeds to make a nuisance of herself at every turn, namely refusing to help find some food and stirring up drama in order to get Kim's attention. Lynn's abduction and Erwan's death snap Lorna out of it and she is reduced to the terrified little kid she truly is beneath her grumpy exterior, which only gets worse when the team gets back to base and meets Lorna's horrible father, who just so happens to be the same cultist who tried to rape Mai Lan. Lorna gets some respite when Alexa protects her from her father, and even excitedly tells Mai Lan she has a new girlfriend, but her parents decide to ruin that too. The next time we see Lorna is when the police find her manacled in her parents' bathroom, with several broken teeth and a black eye. By the end you really just want to give the poor kid a hug.

Action Girl: Alexa Komarova, who in her 139 years alive has had plenty of time to practice dishing out the ass-whooping. Kim Keller, after being the Tagalong Kid in the first albums, becomes The Hero of the series. Manon, the main character of the Survivors spin-of, too: Dad the Veteran was a religious extremist. No, not that kind, more of that kind, he had a strong belief that Religion Makes You Stupid so he blows churches, temples and other religious buildings. Oh, and he raised her.

Uneven Hybrid: Kim and Sven's daughter Lynn takes noticeably more from her human side than her... alien-fish-person side, namely the fact that she does grow hair, unlike the bald aliens, and lacks the odd block shaped nose they all have. Lampshaded when Lynn meets her father, as they both agree it's a good thing she inherited Kim's nose and not Sven's.

Dwindling Party: The rescue mission on Antares-5 progressively loses more and more members: One man dies when the pod crash lands. Aninka is wounded and remains comatose for most of the trip (before eventually succumbing to internal bleeding). Zhou's unnamed friend is stung by a venomous sand dwelling crustacean, and later Zhou absconds with the canoe and is never seen again. Erwan's death is particularly jarring, as he gets entirely drained of his blood by a giant cave dwelling leech, and yet is still isn't as jarring as what happens to Lynn.
