Genre: Sci-fi spy story with a strong anime flavor. For all ages, but aimed at an adult audience.
Description of the Publication: Secret Agents ... Angels ... Aliens ... Demons ... Monsters ... and Giant Robots! TRANSIENTS is an anime-inspired epic, told in nearly 1000 full-color images. Jane Sunset and Werther Fortune are two Angel spies. They're on a mission to repair the Halonic Engine, a vast power source that long ago gave the Angels their halos. This mission takes Jane and Werther to world after alternate world. But on every world, one thing is the same: the spies of the Demon underworld are waiting to stop them! Lavishly illustrated in a style reminiscent of Herge's "Tintin".
Special Notes: Special attention has been given to the graphic and narrative possibilities of telling a comic book story on the computer screen.This is not merely a "slide-show" presentation. Panels appear against a number of rendered, everchanging backgrounds; they interact, overlap, and combine into carefully planned compostions. One reviewer wrote "(These are) great techniques, perfect for a computer format."
